Ah, yes, the 1980s. What was not to love? (Well, except that Reagan and Bush pere were President.) "Power suits" with padded shoulders. Ghostbusters. (The best English-language translation of Caesar's declaration of victory is reason alone to see the movie!) Televangelists. Miami Vice. Neon-colored ski wear. Trashdance, I mean, Flashdance. Jolt cola.
And in the world of cycling we had...fade paint jobs. And the Campagnolo Stinkro system.
And Shimano took over the world.
As for music...The decade gave us the worst song in the history of rock'n'roll--and the best old-school rap.
Let me tell ya, tho'---The Sugar Hill gang and The Beastie Boys had nothing on these kids!
