I was a teen in the 80's. I would live it all again.

I like the video!

Best TV before it went all to pot, just glad I was around to view the 70's & 80's.

I'm unwilling to point out just how much of it I can relate too

Seems UK specific, but there's a lot in common with the US that I remember quite well.

I miss the late 80's and early 90's.

I was born in the 90's and the only thing I really remember from it are the great cartoons that used to be on Nick. Also Animaniacs was the best show during that decade.

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.
