Is it live, or is it
Memorex??? While there are great new bands
today, the music of the 80s will always be my first love. It was
the music I came of age to, it was the music I listened to on my
old tape deck as I learned to drive, it was the music of first
boyfriends – you know, the good stuff.
80s music covers a wide and
highly diverse set of musical styles from the good, the bad, to
the downright ugly (read, Rick Astley, Debbie Gibson or say,
Glass Tiger). But, in each of these categories there were jewels
– songs and bands that remain with us.
When I hear the music of the 80s
(well, some of it), it can instantly transport me back to the
time and place where I was when that song was big. Just a few
bars of “Crumblin’ Down” by John Mellencamp and I am magically
taken back to the first week of 7th grade when I was so proud to
show up for the school year in my new
parachute pants .
Like Totally 80s is always interested in
your 80s music memories. Let us know
your 80s music
favorites . Ice, Ice, baby . . . too cold, too cold.
