Are You From The 80s?


Recommended Posts

Classic cassette tape brands included the top of the lines like TDK SAX-90 and metal, and Sony Chrome. The cheaper ones included Betamag (ughh!), and Uni. BASF later came into the scene in the late 80's or early 90's, which improved the quality of the cassette dramatically.

 

I remember going to the old National Bookstore branch along Quezon Avenue after my class in UP almost weekly to look for new LP albums to buy. Back then, an LP cost P26 while a 12" (extended mix) version was at P19. Some of my best buys included:

 

1. The Fixx - Reach The Beach

2. Men At Work - Cargo

3. Billy Joel - Glass House

4. Duran Duran - Seven and the Ragged Tiger

5. Madonna - Madonna (1983)

 

Good times and better music!

One of the downers of the 80s was the farce of a revolution in 1986.

I actually think it was the best thing that ever happened to the Philippines...not only in the 80's, but the entire historical landscape.

 

Removing a treacherous, evil and scheming leader considered as the world's second biggest thief was a testament to the principles, beliefs and values of the Filipinos back then.

 

Sadly, we can't say the same today...

This is your opinion but Marcos is the greatest president we ever had. If he was really a thief, why wasn't he ever convicted? Labeling him a thief is conjecture. It has never been proven to be a fact. The accusations hurled against him are punishable by imprisonment. So far, there has been no conviction. He was vilified by the crooked yellow media and the gullible bought into the lies fed to them about Marcos.

Yikes! Never thought there are still Marcos loyalists prevailing. I thought they were long dead or have found the light, especially after enriching themselves during the dictatorship.

 

No need to discuss politics here, really. We have our respective choices. Let's talk 80's instead minus the politics...

Tama ka @boyegoy, yung tex mga action movies hehe. Ang pinakamasayang part sa Tex pag pinipilas yung bagong set para maging individual cards. Dyan ko binabasa yung kwento.

 

On a more somber note, it's so sad that several 80's music icons have moved on.

 

David Bowie - gustong gusto ko yung kanta nyang Modern Love saka Under Pressure with Queen

George Michael

Prince - naalala ko back in the early 80's parang so far into the future pa yung 1999 hehe
