Ok well i just want to know if i'm the only one. I was hardly even alive int he eighties but i'd choose music from that decade over any other. It just has a certian sort of charm. I dunno maybe i'm insane but i do love eighties music. What about the rest of you. I mean this is a sega site so if you GREW UP playign sega you probably were exposed to this.

I don't think music in the Eighties was any different to most other decades.. Most of the stuff in the charts was crap and there was some amazing stuff elsewhere.
Maybe the thing people think music in that decade was worse than others is because of the horrendous fashion that goes with it.

dude those clothes were cool. I have a friend who still dresses like that but she knows it's messed up. She pulls if off somehow though. Big ring earings, black and white stripped socks, cut off shorts, always ALWAYS has gum and the classic pink and green scrunchies.

I was born in 1980 and I like that music very much.
It is a bit difficult to say the typical pure 80´s music, there were pop, heavy, rock... Perhaps the pure 80´s is tecnopop, I mean the same pop of always with a good use of synthesizers.
Queen is my favourite group, they had great moments in the eighties but they are from the seventies. From the eighties we can think of: Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Spandau Ballet, the Cure, R.E.M., Eurythmics and very succesfull albums such as Thriller (Michael Jackson), Like a virgin (Madonna), Let´s Dance (David Bowie), Born in the USA (Bruce Springteen), Regatta de Blanc (the Police)
There were good and bad music, maybe the fashion is a problem because many people hate the 80s music more because of this than the music itself.

I like 80's music. I wish I could live in that decade. Too bad I was born in 1983. I was a little kid for the decade. I like music like Huey Lewis and the News, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Billy Idol and some Michael Jackson. I would do anything to live in the 80's.
I will probably pick up the whole Vice City soundtrack when it gets released, I should pick up the game also. Besides the game has to be good too (Of course it will be), since it is set in the 80's.
