    Just a side note. I had a pretty big crush on Erica Ehm when I was a kid. She might have been older than me. But I still wanted to give her my Valentine's Day card I made in class...

    Musically, I spent a lot of time disliking the '80s as it wasn't my generation (it was something to rebel against), and so much of the music in the UK was based around what was fairly primitive technology (lot of bands using the same Roland/Yamaha keyboard for music + beats, or plastic drum kits), but I've actually come to really appreciate the vibrancy and optimism of the best, and some of the worst excesses, of '80s pop - song craft was great back then. A lot of songs said things that artists are perhaps too cynical and po-mo for now (and a lot of terrible turds were also unleashed).

    Underground-wise, I was dimly aware of reggae, hip-hop, house, and techno which laid the foundations for rave and the subsequent dance music explosion of the '90s that was my scene.

    I seriously re-evaluated a lot of synth-heavy, bad-haircut wearing, era-of-excess-sweating pop from my childhood after dude's cover of Tears For Fears went to Number 1 in the charts just as Britain had been dragged into a war in Iraq that the entire country was against. It was a great protest vote.



    Aside from music, the movies coming out of Hollywood were exceptional.
    Was never sold on the '80s fashion come-back though (could never get my legs into skinny jeans anyway), and defiantly wore my grunge-raver gear throughout.

    I've been rewatching all the Miami Vice episodes lately and DAMN did they know what they were doing back then. Style AND substance in spades.

    1986....greatest year for metal evar.

    Slayer "Reign in Blood"
    Metallica "Master of Puppets"

    Metal Blade and Combat Records were killing it.

    Celtic Frost, Venom, Possessed, Voi Vod, Exodus were killing it as well.

    We will never see metal reach a creative peak like that again.
