I remember the def Leppard- Billy squier concert, Def Lep stole the show! That was before their drummer lost his arm, after that they sucked really bad!
I also liked Duran Duran, I can't believe I just admitted that! Yikes! Well, I already threw out Billy Squier & Loverboy, so Duran Duran is looking pretty cool right now!lol
NO WAY master J!!!!
Def Leppard still rocks. I saw them in concert in like 1996, they were awesome!!
It was on my 25 birthday and I won the tickets off the radio! Woo Hoo!
I won cause I knew what pine nuts were.. What a lame question...
Even more lame, I was like the 15th caller! All 14 people before me had no clue!
Def Leppard was on Dancing With The Stars....my husband was screaming from the other room " SELL OUT!" " My boys are sellin out!"
I said " Aw come on honey, the blue hairs at the retirement home are rockin out!"

I was 15 in 1989 - Hooded jumpers (they're back), ripped jeans (they're back), baseball caps (OK we used to wear them backwards, now they wear them sideways?!).
I refuse to admit to the sort of music I listend to then. Instead of an IPod I had a walkman (no kids, it didn't hold 3,000 songs).

Class of 1989 myself....
Inxs, Guns n Roses, The Cure, Biz Markie, LL Cool J, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure were probably my most listened to.
El Toro Tequila, Busch Light and Old Milwaukee beer, Beer bongs. Beer cans, a potato, and a Toilet paper roll as a smoking device.
Band practice(drummer) wrestling practice, work at the flower shop, skipping school to go fishing....
Girbaud jean tailored to narrow and fit right on the penny loafer and pink polo button down after I moved past the burn out and rap phase.
That's my trip down memory lane for the day

What about Prince, Vanity 6, and Boy George!! lol
To get my hair as high as possible, I held my can of Aquanet in one hand, the the hair dryer in the other. I lit my Maybeline black eyeliner before I used it to get the blackest and Thickest line I could!!
What about this guy outfit. Parachute pants, the Converse Tennis shoes that came above the ankle, many many bandanas lied to the bottom of your legs, and this outfit would not be complete without the Michael Jackson jacket!!

I lived with my Dad in Farmington, but my Mom lived in Warren, so I was out there all the time. Hung out at Thomas Manor a lot, so had a lot of "break dancing" friends and that is what they wore. lol
Yeah, met my husband out there and he had a cutlass and a cheesy mustache!! lol

Eek,
I graduated HS in 1982. I was an artist wannabe with an all black wardrobe and carried a big black artist portfolio around with me. I wore creepers and bleached my hair white like Billy Idol.
Jesus, my childhood was a complete mess!

I just love this post. As a child of the 80's - gradutating high school in 86 and college in 90 - I can totally relate!!!
This year has been a total 80's rewind for me. Saw The Police 3 times during their reunion tour (yes, Sting is still extremely hot!), Billy Idol at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, Nine in Nails twice (NIN started in 89) and yes, in two weeks off to see Duran Duran at the house of blues in Atlantic City. Just an FYI, Depeche Mode is releasing a new cd in 09 and will be touring. "Just can't get enough" of the 80's!
