80s MUSIC MEMES for a laugh

MORE 80s MUSIC MEMES

I'm still listening to my 80s music. The 1980s were a different time. For one thing the girls were into hair bands - which were usually men dressed up like women.

A great example, Motley Crue. The girls girls girls went crazy over Motley Crue.

Girls went crazy over the Motley Crue!
I'm still listening to the Crue. I relive the old times by putting on my high waisted jeans and playing the vinyl. The original vinyl that I bought from Sam the Record man in 1985!

I found my record collection the other day, and to my surprise I found A-HA! I loved take on me!
A-HA, the band from the 80s. Found them!
My vinyl collection was mostly made up of New Wave music. What the heck does New Wave even mean? Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Adam Ant, Psychedelic Furs...I'm still confused.
Duran Duran were New Wave
I found my Elton John - Still Standing single. Rod Steward was leaning against it. What a meme to find.

There was also a picture attached to a Skid Row album of the time I tried to make my hair bigger than any hair band member. It was tough, but I did it. 1987!!!
80s Hair bigger than Hair Bands
Couldn't find my Hall and Oates records. I went through that phase where anything 'pop' was burned. Say it ain't so!

I picked up a Dirty Dancing record at a yard sale. I always pictured Hungry Eyes as a cartoon wolf.

Billy Idol and Gen X made up a chunk of the milk carton of vinyl. Wonder if Billy really did want a White Wedding. White tuxedos were hip in the 80s, combined with pink cumber buns. 
Billy Idol did he want a White Wedding
And, what the heck was Phil Collins singing about in Suddio? I'm pretty sure he didn't even know.

In the Air Tonight, still love the drum part in that song. Apparently Phil played a lot of instruments other than the drums. He played a little guitar. The obo?

Great guitar players that I think were overlooked - the guy from Dire Straits. Boy could those guys play a lick. They were more than the Sultans of Swing. Not quite a Van Halen, but great in their own way.
