Save A Prayer has the unlikely distinction of being the best song of the 80s and the cheesiest film clip. Yup, Duran Duran were practically a satire of themselves – airbrushed, saccharine sweet and possessed of a spiffy collection of suits. Usually white. And that was just lead singer Simon Le Bon. Still, this clip is worth revisiting as a reminder of everything good and bad about the 1980s. What was your favourite and least favourite trend, song or item of clothing from that decade?

Oh my…where to begin?! The 80s is – and always will be – the best era. The bright colours, the fabulously cheesy music, the fashion that was so incredibly unflattering (hello, harry high-pants and shoulder pads!) but so much fun to wear. Madonna was releasing quality music, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were on TV and Breakin’ was released…good times all round! Could’ve done without those terrible arcade games though…Frogger?! Bah!

Now, now, Nat … Frogger had its moments. Mind you, it couldn’t compare to the ethereal, spacey beauty that was Moon Patrol. Thankfully there’s a bar in Brooklyn called Barcade where you can relive all your classic 80s gaming memories, Galaga, Pacman et al.

Ha nice Zolt, I hope Space Invaders also gets a look in – happy gaming!
