Who was your fav 80s artist or band? Was there anyone you think should have made the list?

[SuperMadpom]

The scary thing is when you realise some of the popstars you loved as a teenager where only a handful of years older than you where at the time.

[HM-ecvi]

Nothing wrong with getting old. It’s a privilege many don’t get to experience.

[leonbouhadana]

Thank you God for making me a child of the 80's ... they were the most incredible years to be a teenager.

[sandrafaith]

I'm still heartbroken over Michael Hutchence.

[davcuts]

Okay I'm going to say it. I think Madonna may have had some work done.

[taniadaniels]

How awesome does SADE look? No plastic anything, just naturally beautiful and graceful.

[jeffreyhancock]

It is incredible to see how the musical stars have aged over the years, yet their music will still be around for many years to come. I'm sure I speak for many when I convey my thanks to them all for providing the soundtrack to my youth.

[paulareed]

If only we could go back!! 70's were even better!!!

[gloriahufnagel]

My childhood just flashed before my eyes.. wow.. we are all getting old.. I’m glad for those still here..

[Rampage]

Suzanna Hoffs is still amazing for her age.

[lynnroney]

Jon Bon Jovi. Like aging wine. Just gets better and better with time, and still sounding great. He does so much good in this world. Doing so much to making sure people don't go hungry.

[mainmaam]

My first job was working at a record store in 1986. So nice to see these artists again, years later. Thanks for the memories!

[maryjohnson]

Just be glad if you live into senior years, lots of people die young, and even babies. Old age can be hard, but just make the best of it, and count your blessings, enjoy what you can, even if its just Netflix, tea, cake, and my baby pug and shihtzu. I thank God everyday, for another day on his earth, with those we love.

[dpspike]

Would have been nice to see Eddie Van Halen. He was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I saw Van Halen in 1984. RIP Eddie.

[Sarmatae]

Well, it's safe to say Sade and Salt are killin' it. They look better now than they did in the eighties.

[whatismyname]

this era of music s one of the golden era, I must say. All the big names of the industry were there. I felt sorry for those who passed away. music was at its peak. It almost 4 decades passed but it seems like it was just a yesterday. I really miss those days as I turned to 54.

[lincbond]

Alison Moyet looks 10x better in the more recent photo. Tiffany looks pretty good too.

When Linda Ronstadt accepted an award for her 2019 documentary "from the AARP!!!), she was led to the podium by her good friend, Maria Muldaur (I'm sure you're all aware of Ms. Ronstadt's health issues). In her usual good-humored and humble way, Ms. Ronstadt made a very profound point. She said, "Most of us didn't think we would make it to old age." I realized that her generation of artists had lost so many of their fellow artists at a very young age due to drugs and alcohol use during a time of great social, political, and cultural upheaval. The demands of touring and churning out album after album fueled much of this. Good to see in this video that so many are still here to enjoy their families and making music!

[MadScientyst]

Respect to the Icons still with us today & RIP with gratitude, to the ones we lost along the way.
For me (age 52) the 80's represented the best decade of my life...PERIOD!!
