any one watching the 80`s thing on bbc2..brilliant..the smiths.. great frankie goes to hollywood durran durran..far better than the utter dross of today...

My era..... SO LESS OF THE OLD!!!!!!!

Totally agree, loved it!

I wasn't around until '88 but I love 80s music and it's far superior to the drivel these days bar the odd one or two good songs.

More into the rock scene in the 80s but can now appreciate some decent tunes from the pop, new romance era of the 80s. The Rock Band programme on Saturday nights have been good viewing



Do you remember the Hitman and her from Mr Smiths on a sat night? Mates used to tape it and look out for themselves

Michaela Strachan........ hubba hubba

nowadays its all bout N-Dubz and Chipmunk

Ashes to Ashes is my favourite programme on TV @ the moment. Loads of good tunes & none of this politically correct garbage we get now!

who??? never heard of em

Frankie? Duran Duran? Never liked these new fangled bands!!. Give me Yes, Crimson and Genesis anytime. Anyone seen me zimmer?

and wearing your jeans half way down your ar$e cheeks....!
that was nearly a "moony" in the 80's


back on the music though I was recently Watching the SKids play "the saints are coming" circa 1979 on you tube, and wondered if any other 18 year old kids are able to form a band play guitars and write their own stuff to such standards and be a reasonable success or do you have to wear said slack ar$ed jeans look like a pretty boy and be able to warble out notes like you have some throat problem.... and then get Simon Cowells approval...!!

Arctic Monkeys did OK, so I guess yes.

Ee, nostalgia's not what it was...
