The eighties were my 20s (I was born in January, 1960) and remember them with a clarity bordering on the perverse.
For every horrible hairband number, there was:
Siouxsie & The Banshees
The Cure
U2
The Psychedelic Furs
The Birthday Party (Bad Seeds, Nick Cave)
Nina Hagen on her own, or flirting with Merv Griffin & Don Rickles (& rapping!!!)
& Nena (decidedly different)
Scandal
Katrina & The Waves
The Pretenders
The English Beat
Bronksi Beat
Soft Cell
Jimmy Somerville and Marc Almond (which one reviewer said was the gayest one he'd ever heard)
New Order, Perfect Kiss, perhaps the perfect 80s song. Notice the haircuts...
Or this one... so modern!
OMD, or course
Dead or Alive
Jodi Whatley
This is just off the top of my head...
Even the worst excesses of 80s hair and shoulderpads pale in significance when compared to some of the piercings and tattoos I've seen over the last ten or so years.
