One of the only surprise gifts VW got me was a DVD history of the Clash. It's really good. I miss those guys.

Matt, I had you figured for this type of 80s music. I know you couldn't keep Vegasdawg off the dance floor when it came on.

How can nobody remember Erasure?

How can nobody remember Erasure?

My friends are morons. Erasure was just a little before my age group, but I thought they were good. My age group in HS was when grunge was still big, but I still always like the 80's more.

I gotcha. I was defined by the '80s. In fact, two of my favorite movies that define me are The Tao of Steve and High Fidelity which are reflections of the typical "80s guy. I really related to High Fidelity, plus I'm a big John Cusack fan. High Fidelity was a great picture of the reflective 80s man, in my opinion.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Best "80's" film that defines the "pop culture" of that time....

That may be worth an entire new thread on its own -

I've got to admit that I still watch basicallly 3 films everytime the are on -

Less Than Zero - to me this is a very UNDERRATED film - also a very dark film for its time....

Valley Girl -

Fast Times at Ridgemont High -

High Fidelity is in my top 5.

"Mother what a night it really was. Brother what a night it really was. Angina's really tough."
