This was the last of the Reagan and big permed hair days. What are your thoughts on the year 1988 to the summer of 1989?

Only the favorite music, shows, years of my life.  I absolutely loved the light (or some say watered down) feel of the late 80s and early 90s.  The heavy synthesizers of the mid 80s were mostly replaced by more airy sounds, and grunge hadn't set in yet.  Even up through 1992 with stuff like Cover Girls "Wishing On A Star".  Funny you mention the Will To Power song.  That's one of my favorites and seems like nobody I talk to remembers it.  Another show few people seem to remember is "Our House" from 1986 to 1988.  That was one of my favorite shows back then.

Yes I suppose so. Though my main love nostalgia-wise is 84-87, it was all good. It was good to see sitcom families / characters maturing eg Cosby Show, Facts of Life. Music in the UK went really pop - artists like Kylie Minogue were all the rage.

What happened to RetroLover? I know he's been a long-time member of this board and comes back with different aliases, but his posts give these retro sections life. There was a period when this forum was quiet as hell and he brought new life into it. Yes some posts are borderline decadeology - but at this stage, does it matter so much? People want to talk about the 80s, that's all. It's nothing to get frustrated about.

And don't forget Silver Spoons and Punky Brewster.

Yeah Stock, Aitken and Waterman really ruled the charts in the late 80s. Kinda like Max Martin and Dr. Luke did between say 1997-2017.

84 to 87 or 88 is my favorite 80s time period! I'm very nostalgic about it and sometimes like to watch music videos from that time. I wish I could re-live it! I miss the 1980s.

probobly my favorite years of the 80s, i dont understand why the late 80s is so underrated on this board
