80s child here, hitting the big 30 next Friday
I remember the Berlin wall coming down, Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles, Cabbagepatch dolls, Transformers, X-men, Dallas, The Sweeney, Minder, Bread, Highway to Heaven, and all the others. There's a lot of things about the 1980s that make me nostalgic, the electro-synth music wave, the fonts, the derelict underdeveloped docklands of London (the difference with today is astonishing), old rattley slam-door trains, cars with angles and minimal electronics, phones that weighed almost the same as a car battery.
Seems like a different world when comparing now and then.

I prefer
Although it still doesn't sound right to me without a crackling and popping in the background from the needle against vinyl.
