Some of the music that they've used is just great

Including some Queen this week

Everyone loves Alex's jacket too, which is a good start

I'm a big Eighties fan! I was a kid/teenager then, so it's the decade that's most important to me. I love most of those songs listed. I'm still into a lot of groups from back then, too, like Duran Duran, Adam and the Ants, Depeche Mode, The Police etc, plus a lot of hard rock and metal.

Brucas4life · 06-19-2010, 06:25 AM

I've never been a fan of Duran Duran for some reason

**crazy_diamond** · 06-19-2010, 12:50 PM

I wasn't a huge fan, but I loved their song 'Hungry like a Wolf'

**Violent Delights** · 06-19-2010, 05:28 PM

it was on Rock Band too, so i've heard it more than they're other songs

Lost in Translation · 06-19-2010, 08:35 PM

I've decided the eighties were wasted on the people who could remember them.

I love U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star, and so far that's it but I'm too lazy to hunt through all the music or think.

**crazy_diamond** · 06-20-2010, 03:34 AM

I have to say the 80's was the best for music for me

and the best children's programmes

**Violent Delights** · 06-20-2010, 04:23 AM

music was definitely better than the 90's

Brucas4life · 06-20-2010, 05:06 AM

90's music makes me laugh looking back.

I will admit to loving the Spice Girls though and going to see their reunion tour

But yeah...the 90's wasn't good and there aren't many songs that will be remembered from it.

**crazy_diamond** · 06-20-2010, 12:10 PM

I think the 80's for bad and good reasons you could remember more of, I can't remember hardly anything from the 90's
