Hi! I was looking for a general 80's forum, and Google directed me here. Looks like a wideranging and active forum, I look forward to check out the discussions and adding something myself. I'm mainly into (early) 80's music, but the pure nostalgia in it makes other topics, such as fashion and movies, interesting too, even if some - not to say a lot - of it strikes me as terrible today (poodle rock, the Police Academy movies etc.).
A lot of my favorite 80's music was what I heard on the radio back in the early to mid-80's, but I must admit that some of it reached my ears (partly of course due to the mainstream factor of the radio shows) only many years later. I discovered a lot of the great new wave and post punk of the late 70's to early 80's towards the end of the decade, and even today I discover songs and artists I hadn't heard before.
(Since I had to choose an avatar from a predefined list, and Swedish Chef wasn't there, I picked this other Muppet Show character whose name I've actually forgotten...or was Fuzzy his name? Oh yes, I think that's it.)
