Probably Agree shampoo, or the peach nut oil stuff made by the Aussies. I DON'T miss that Poison perfume all the girls used to wear - smelled like grape.
I used to rent Eddie and the Cruisers & drink beer with my sister, oh, maybe at least once every other month! Oh, and Flashdance too, or Dirty Dancing.

Tango & Cash was an awesome movie (stalone was in it, and I forget who else)
Catch Me If You Can. was a cheesy but awesome street racer movie
I still can't get over I was only 5 when back to the future came out (1985), that is still today my all time favorite.
you can't forget about tv shows; night rider, the a-team, Thundercats, voltron (sp?) GI J.O.E.

Remember life before AIDS? I don't know 'bout the rest of you folks but for me between 1980 and 1985 sex didn't require latex and taking a complete medical history-those days will never come back. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but between 17 and 22 it sure was a fun thing!

......and it was Teri Hatcher (in all her gloriful cleavage) who played Cash's sister.
Oh, who could forget the first terminator? When LInda Hamilton looked hot riding her scooter?
ALiens? hmmm sequel as good as the original.
What about the MAC?
New COke and OLd Coke?
Ronald and Nancy hanging in the whitehouse?
When Russia (USSR) had a guy running the place with a red spot on his head? Like Jupiter?
Must not forget ET....I want to phone home when I think about it.....but only to tell Dad the Thing with Kurt Russell and Poltergeist absolutely scared the hell out of me, unlike the Friday 13th flicks which I rented/saw just to see how much skin would be shown for Rated R!!!!!
BTW....I challenge ANYONE who posted to GALAGA!!!
I totally rocked at that game and I still got game even after all these years.....so step up brothas and sistas.....and get ready!

The hot chick back then had to have been Heather Thomas and Heather Locklear, although not too bad after all these years!
What about the heyday of Bon Jovi? And Pat Benatar. Those where the growing up days of the WWF. Remember when Hulk Hogan was bigtime, and Andre the Giant vs. Mr. T? And Cyndi Lauper got into wrestling?
When it comes to video games, I was OK at Galaga. My game was JOUST! I have scored well over 100,000 points on that game several times. I can still do it today!
Those were the days of Parachute Pants!

I remember watching The Pukes of Hazzard every Friday night, followed by The Incredible Hulk! NOW THAT WAS COOL! The best music I thought came from Iron Maiden! Number two was the Crue. Of course, Dr. FeelGood bumped them even higher!
What about the conversion from 8-tracks to cassettes? And how CD's came along shortly after.
Beta vs. VHS???? LOL!!! I remember how worried and scared Hollywood was when it was announced that home movies would damage their revenues at the Box Office. HA! I think mp3's have done the same thing to the music business - nothing but positive for the industry!
I hated Max Headroom! STUPID!!! I think "Jolt" was started in the 80's.

Thanks Chris W, I knew it wasn't Patrick Swazi (sp?) I always get those two mixed up.
Max headroom was that virtual head that jittered and kinda stuttered right? I was pretty damn young then.
The fat boys were cool I remember sitting on the sidewalk with my buddies and jammin to wipe-out lol.
American Doctors were American
Superman movies were awesome,
Do you remember Bobalo (sp?) kinda like ceader point but I think it was in Canada.
