The Unofficial "80's" Thread...

[Moviefan2k4]

Hey, all...

The mid-1990's were my formative years, but I was raised primarily on 80's fare and gospel. So, out of curiosity, I decided to do a thread dedicated to that decade. I've listed some of my favorite childhood influences from that era, and I'm curious to hear about yours. And as with any other thread, let's try and keep this both civil and peaceful. Thanks!

Credited as simply Love Hewitt. I thought her first name was Love for years.
