Osamdesete su bile najbolje godine za glazbu, tako barem
mnogi tvrde. Glazba iz tog razdoblja svakodnevno je na repertoaru
svih radio postaja, a sve je više klubova koji vikendom puštaju
isključivo glazbu osamdesetih.
Još nešto karakterizira osamdesete, a to su loše frizure i
katastrofalni ukus za odjeću :)
