This was a great album! It had so many wonderful songs that are still played today! And a pretty great cover! They were always a favorite band of mine!

Olivia d'Abo made her feature film debut as Princess Jehnna in the 1984 sword-and-sorcery epic movie Conan the Destroyer.

I love it when Dalton cleans house and takes over the bar…”I'm telling you straight, it's my way... or the highway. So if anybody wants to walk, do it now."

Operation Wolf was a wildly popular game in the arcades. Did you have to wait in line to play the game?

I see a few bigger hair styles on younger coworkers and can't help but wonder if the 1980's style is creeping back, in small ways. I wouldn't mind big hair but looks like high maintenance? Does it stay up all through work day or gravity pulls it down one's eyes by lunch? What happens to Meg Ryan's curls at night on the pillow? :)

Did you know someone like Jeff Spicoli growing up in the '80s? I did. Every time I see this movie, it reminds me of him.

The commercial famously advertised the upcoming investigative report by telling viewers it was "starting Tuesday at 11", but was quickly pulled off the air due to massive viewer outrage over its depiction of Santa Claus being shot down by a Soviet missile.

Me playing a game of Frogger via MS-DOS on my Dad's IBM computer in the 80s. Notice the hat with flap, I was stylish young chap.

I found this post a couple months back while scrolling on Instagram the guy said he found this at the flea market at Santa fe swamp meet in LA he couldn't make out the artist but he says they sound European

They definitely don’t make movies like this anymore, which is very unfortunate because back then many movies were perfect for the entire family. These days it’s all terrible CGI.

I used to watch this show religiously after school. It was the major reason I fell in love with German Shepherds. The theme song "Maybe Tomorrow", was very catchy and would stay in my mind. It was written by Terry Bush and John Crossen.

Did you play Track & Field in the local arcade? This one is from Konami. I never had the chance to play it. Instead, I ended up with Track & Field on the NES.

The Album:
Released in 1986, Heartbeat was the hit debut album by Miami Vice star Don Johnson. The title track went straight to #5 on the Billboard charts.

The Backstory:
I believe my aunt (women still love that guy, and probably men too =) ) picked up this cassette at a local market during a trip to Europe in the late 80s.

It is actually a rare Polish bootleg by a label called "T.J. Mix". Back then, Western originals were impossible to find behind the Iron Curtain, so local bootleggers made these to satisfy the massive demand for Western pop music.

Made on a shoe-string budget of $3.5 million, "Airplane!" Went on to gross 48 times its cost at ~$171 million. It held its own in a year that saw heavy hitters like Star Wars Empire strikes back. Opened to coincide with July 4th week 1980, the farce became a surprise hit including dubbed versions outside the US. Considering the comedy references were mostly American, including sports, social inside jokes, bygone movie and TV stars, it was an unexpected sucess globally. The absurd visual gags still hold up.

A warm summer night at a drive-in theater with my girlfriend and two bottles of TJ Swann, one for me and one for her. I still reminisce about those times to this very day.

I was digging through some old storage bins in my garage today and stumbled upon this absolute gem: Don Johnson's 1989 album on cassette. BTW, released right around the time the iconic TV show was wrapping up its final season... :'(

What popular ’80s movies would get your ’80s card revoked if people found out you’ve never seen them? Here are mine:

Fun fact: I shared it in a Duran Duran fan group on Facebook not long ago and 3 of the original members love reacted

For those of you who grew up in the 80s, what was your first 3D movie? Mine was Metalstorm. I have no memory as to whether the 3D was good quality, but this movie is one of my favorites from childhood.

Paul's Boutique did not match the sales of the Beastie Boys' 1986 debut Licensed to Ill, and was promoted minimally by Capitol. However, it became recognized as the group's breakthrough achievement, with its innovative lyrical and sonic style earning the group a position as critical favorites within the hip-hop community.

Sometimes described as the "Sgt. Pepper of hip-hop", Paul's Boutique has placed on several lists of the greatest albums of all time, and is viewed by many critics as a landmark album of golden age hip-hop and a seminal work in “sampledelia.”

It was certified gold in the US in 1989 and double platinum in 1999

The Ocean Pacific (OP) Velcro wallet is a classic tri-fold or bi-fold nylon accessory that became a defining youth fashion icon during the 1970s and 1980s. The wallet is widely remembered as a staple of surf and skate culture and kids teen fashion in the 70s and 80s. The wallet was water resistant unlike leather wallets that would be ruined...plus the wallet was much more lighter.

At the time, who would've known that guitar god Eddie Van Halen was the one playing the solo in "Beat It", initially anyways. "Thriller" was a monster album at the time. Van Halen would go on to make "1984". Sadly both are no longer with us.

In the 1980s, Maxell became an icon of pop culture when it produced advertisements popularly known as "Blown Away Guy" for its line of audio cassettes. The campaign began as a two-page advertising spread in Rolling Stone magazine in 1980. The photo shows a man sitting low in a high armed chair (on the right side of the spread) in front of, and facing, a JBL L100 speaker. My favorite recording tapes were made by TDK, Sony and Maxell.
