My brother and sister very often blame me for not introducing them to music, movies, and pop culture of the 80's. I get no reprieve from this blame, despite the fact that they weren't even born until 1981, were 7 years old when I basically left home for good, and had little to no interest in my music until the past ten years or so.
I am truly a child of the 80's. My iPod is filled with artists like the Clash, Elvis Costello, the Pretenders, and the Police. It even contains songs from the Buggles, the Thompson Twins, Howard Jones, Joe Jackson, and Madness. My brain is filled with more useless song lyrics than the majority of people I know, sometimes precluding room in there for much else, it seems. I listened to WLIR when it was good (and when it existed -- it's gone, apparently). Take this 80's song lyric quiz and see if you can beat my score, which was an 83.5.
randomly hit your site. I bow down to your 80' supremacy. Wow. That quiz was hard. I lost a lot of points on spelling. Still...I thought I had game. Love the taste in music. Was just playing some good British ska. Madness, The Speicals, English Beat. _ Mike
