I know that we all on here have fond memories of the 80's, but also there are some things that we are happy to not see around anymore. I will go first. In no particular order....... 1. Pauly Shore as the weazel 2. Yo MTV Raps 3. Pee Wee's playhouse 4. New Wave 5. The trend where everyone wanted to talk like a surfer. 6. The group WAM 7. Having to see Boy George have number one hits. How in the world did that guy ever become popular? 8. Party Line 9. Mullets 10. The Hair bands that ruined a good thing when it came to music. Thank god for Guns N Roses coming out in 1987. Honorable mention : Remember how people used to fold up the bottom of their jeans?

1) Having to solicit for beer. 2) Driving a Ford Galaxy 500 with a crack in the exhaust manifold so big you could slide a credit card through it. 3) Crappy Mexican dirt-weed full of seeds and stems. 4) Reformulated Coca Cola 5) Norman Fell as the Landlord on Three's Company TV sitcom. Don Knotts totally ruled! 6) Roseanne Barr, especially singing the National Anthem 7) Styrofoam Big Mac containers washing up on the shore at Stinson Beach, CA by the hundreds of thousands. 8) Yellow and brown air over the Central Valley all day long. 9) The Clash, UB40, yes... and Boy George 10) Yugos (Yuogslavian cars) OMG what a piece of shi....

I'd replace it with Prince.

Musically speaking:
Micheal Jackson
Pointless keyboards
Every band trying to sound like Survivor
Videos in general.
Kiss sans make up
Milli Vanilli getting a Grammy ( I know they gave it back, but they shouldn't have gotten one in the first place)
Shitty guitar tones and production in general
David Lee Roth
Al and Tipper Gore's "Censorship crusade"
Non-Music:
The Cowboys sucking
The Phillies sucking
Not being old enough to drink
The Cold War
Police Acadamy movies
Acid Rain
The 49ers
School

The fact that bars went from "rock and roll" to"disco" to "new wave" to having milk jugs for bar stools and mechanical bulls all in the span of 5 years? ? I serioulsy think that the music world was shook up like a can of pop and was opened in the face of it's listeners by the time 1982 rolled around? I started college with "bell bottoms" in the late 70's, got rid of those, finally mastered the "bump", only to try and do "the robot" in pointy Joe Jackson type shoes, and then go on to find a pair of cowboy boots to do the "Urban Cowboy" thing and eventually bow out and say to hell with it, stop dancing, and start working on purchasing and listening to the back catalogue of mid-70's music. Funny how trends seem to last longer these days huh? Wait!!!!! What trends!!! ?? "boomchickaboomchickaboomchickaboommuthafukerbabysgotbackgonnaslapthatbitchontheassboomchickaboomchikaboom"....... Thank gawd for classic rock and roll......... Thanks Kim
