I graduated HS in '83, college in '87. I am a true 80's child. But I gotta say, they can take most of the music and the fashion from that time and put it in a capsule and open it up again in, say, the year 2587.

There are some good songs. I still like Hall & Oates, and Sheena Easton

Do people spend more money when the 80's music is piped in? Is it the Musak of our generation?

lumberjim spins them right round, baby right round, like a record baby, right round round round.

Because their friends don't buy cars, and if they don't buy cars, then they're no friends of mine.

Pete Burns (from Dead or Alive) was on Celebrity Big Brother the other year. Man is either a genius or just a mean bully, can't make my mind up. He's a one off though.

I couldn't disagree more. I graduated high school in 1987 and my formative years were all spent listening to 80's music. I remember and love that music and consider myself to be pretty much an expert on 80's one hit wonders. I bounce around the radio dial when driving and I either listen to talk radio or news (80) of the time or 80's music the rest of the time.
