Lots of 1980s Ms to share today.
Madonna was a defining music figure in the 1980s, and many girls tried to copy her look:
MTV was huge! I mean, it was a total phenomenon. The 80s was the true dawn of music videos, and you had a real edge in the social world if your parents paid for MTV (mine did):
Mommie Dearest
Motley Crue
Modern English
I know I'm missing some. Can you think of any more?

That said, my book of four memoirs (My Life as a Misfit) takes place in the 1980s:

Your book cover makes more sense, now that I know it's set in the 80s! Wild tights and those Madonna half gloves... lol, what will I do when my daughter starts trying the new trends - although many of the 80s trends are back now...
ReplyDeleteLoving this time tripping you're doing!
I am not a Madonna fan, and during the 80's I worked two jobs. I got interested in classical music in the late 70's so when I could play my radio at work it was that type I mostly listened to.
ReplyDeleteI did like The Bangles but that doesn't begin with M. But Mozart does and that music will stand long.
Mullets, natch!
ReplyDeleteMarillion - think they were pretty big in the 80s.
Definitely Madonna's best era too.
My parents didn't have cable, so I loved walking to my best friend's house after school and watching MTV with her. It's funny now to think what a huge thing MTV was then. I also tried to copy the Madonna "Desperately Seeking Susan" look, although thankfully there are no pictures of this phase. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to reading your memoir!!
MTV is nothing like it was then youtube killed that.
ReplyDeleteMannequin? I remember the film, but I can't remember if it was any good - I was very young.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wore the dang bow in my hair and had a bazillion rubber bracelets. We did not have MTV, but my friend Amy did. I spent a lot of time at her house.
ReplyDeleteUm, Michael Jackson!!! When Thriller debuted, I must have stayed tuned to that channel to watch it over and over again.
I miss the days when MTV played music and had substantial shows. I'd love to get some of Madonna's Eighties albums to add to my large vinyl collection.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved Mannequin!
ReplyDeleteMen Without Hats! Madonna! Oh, the memories...
ReplyDeleteHey, Susan,
ReplyDeleteI liked the music from Men at Work and Men Without Hats. Brings back memories.
