"New Wave Sissy Boy 80's Hits You Were Afraid to Admit You Liked in High School" playlist

[terrya]

Fuck that "I was afraid to admit I liked" stuff. I liked...still like...all of these songs.

The 80's sucked as a decade. But I loved the music.

4. A lot of those are really good, especially "Blasphemous Rumors" and "Save A Prayer."

Of course, I wasn't born until 1984, so I get the benefit of the "cool/uncool" question being irrelevant when I listen to this stuff.

[Sequoia]

15. OMG, you are SO young!

I remember 1984 really well, we had the Olympics in Los Angeles. And Venice beach was warm and sunny.

[DarkTirade]

18. None! I'm a man! With the manliness and maninity that comes with that.

There's no way I could ever like any of that music. Well, except for that one.

And the other one, y'know, with the part that goes *bum bum da bump bump* in the middle?

But that's it! And the one with the guy singing that thing about the stuff. But that's all!

Oh and the one with the nifty intro and outtro with the echoes and stuff.

And the one with the...

And hats off to your attitude about not being embarrassed by your music. I have listened to so much stuff, and whether I still like it or not I had a good reason at the time, and feel no shame for liking a single note of it. :)
