amazon would be selling hairspray and leg warmers. and answering machines. and VCR’s.

@rebbel Is that supposed to be funny? I find that in bad taste.

@kevbo you are probably right.

@jca
Billy Idol was huge at one point. You’ve got to love a sneering rebel who equates marriage with a funeral shroud and a coffin.

Wham!
Challenger explosion
AIDS
Ronald Reagan

@tinyfaery

It WAS around in the eighties. Google goes back to 1982. I was using it in those days – it was well before Tim Berners-Lee and no web, but there were mail lists, FTP, newsgroups etc.
Google wasn’t there as Google – it was Deja Vu, later acquired by Google.

Culture Club and Eurythmics.

Thompson Twins and Adam Ant.

Joan Collins

Samantha Fox.

Kiki Deeeee! Wait, no…

Pat Benatar.
Love totally is a battlefield, man.

GA @Sarcasm

@Sarcasm She just played here with Debbie Harry a few months ago. I didn’t go to see it though.

Were there telephones? J/K :)

@SeventhSense lol4r.

Princess Di

@JLeslie I didn’t want to acknowledge his existence.
I said Patrick who? because, of his sad passing away, his name (and all his movies, on the Dutch telly) goes around much these days.
I apologise to you if it hurt you.
It’s never my intention to joke about people who pass away.
Your comment makes me rethink if i didn’t do just that in my answering above.
Thanks for that.

@SeventhSense Tell us more about the old days Grandpa.

Why would you want telephones when you could have carrier pigeons?

Bon Jovi

@willbrawn Good one. How about Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen?

Who shot JR?

you do know the internet has been around BEFORE the 80s, right?

:roll_eyes:

Right, but it was not as prevalent as it is today, which is why my question says : …around in the 80’s like it is today…

Friedrich Nietzsche, Mark Twain, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Oh, which 80’s did you mean?

does anybody remember the Rico Suave video? R i c c o S u a v e.

Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam.

there should be a website:what happened to these people.

Definitely Michael Jackson.
