it's really a matter of personal choice, but the 80s for me was the best time for music especially. this was the time when music mattered unlike now full of crap music and remakes.

Ultravox, Railway Children, The Cure, Care, Midge Ure, The Smiths, Flesh for Lulu, Simple Minds, The Alarm, Lightning Seeds, Simple Minds, O.M.D., New Order, James, Aztec Camera, Kon Kan, Morrissey, Violent Femmes, Big Audio Dynamite, Oingo Boingo, The Sundays, Joy Division to name a few. - these were the best contributors to 80s music and yeah Tears for Fears!

Somwerndmiddle, 80's music did suck. I'm from the US and lived through the 80's. Rock was dying and rap was coming of age. A really sad time for music lovers. I'll take 70's music any day.

By somwerNdmiddle• 3 May 2010 20:48

where are you from roberto? who's that retard who told you 80s music was crap? are you familiar with Tears For Fears or you're going gaga over crappy singer Lady Gaga?

By anonymous• 3 May 2010 20:01

Same crap as in this decade, roberto. Nothing has changed, who cares for some million dead?

If you thought the 80s were good then you didn't live through them.... The music was crap, AIDS came on the scene big time, Russia in afghanistan, Iran and Iraq fighting for 8 years, a million dead and 100 metres of territory gained, paedophile priests we are only just now finding out about, the cold war, famine in Africa.....

I could go on but you get the picture.

The 80's were good years for the German physicists. They were awarded 4 Nobel Prizes in '85 (Klitzing), '86 (Ruska), '87 (Bednorz), and '89 (Paul). But India's Subramanyan Chandrasekar was also awarded the Nobel Prize in physics ('83). So, a good decade for Germany and India.

In the 80's we used to listen to Disco music at parties,wear peckos or bell-bottoms,with afro hairstyles with flashy,brightly colored shirts with huge collars,and cruising around in long,low floor cadillacs and buicks and of course,the disco ball at the ceilings of parties! Good memories!
