Can anyone honestly tell me Footloose doesn't make you jump out of your chair (on the inside or behind closed doors at least)
Funny enough, the song Hunting High And Low by AHa sends me back to the time when I was about ten or 12 during a field trip and playing with Zoids, MASK and GiJoe. 
Sure did some weird stuff back in the 80s! (nothing illegal though, I was a good kid 
Must be the music..and the water..
or was it Gargamel..... |
I actually jumped out of my chair every twenty minutes for several weeks because I showed this when I was a theater projectionist and got my queue to change reels.
Love the soundtrack though.
My favorite movie and soundtrack though was Valley Girl.

The Smiths/Morrissey, Siouxsie and the Banshees, XTC, The Jam, The Ocean Blue, the Housemartins, the Producers, X, Adam and the Ants, Bronski Beat, New Order, Bauhaus... and that's just a small fraction.
Obviously, my tastes were more Anglocentric, but on either side of the Atlantic there were so many great bands in that decade.

80s is hands down the best. no bs meanings. plenty of variety. music at this point was to listen to and just have fun and dance. you didn't have to decipher it
70s had some great stuff but to much disco and to much political music
90s was aweful. cry baby after cry baby. girl power? whatever. if a PR person has to tell people what you are then your music aint about what you think it is.
music now makes me laugh. my wife and her friends talk about all the underground bands that they listen to taht no one has heard of. course it is satelite radio and just cause they are not on a main station here in california doesn't mean they are not huge somewhere else. time and time again when she plays a song i have to laugh and then pla the original version for her. of yeah really underground and original.

DEVO and Def Leppard were some of my faves. Also the whole Prince/Time/Vanity 6 era was AWESOME!

Modern English - Melt With You
Men at Work - Down Under
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Add in any song from the Headbangers Ball and Yo Mtv Raps from that time and I'm good to go.
