Oh man this is definitely a blast from the past for me as a kid born in 1980. I grew up in Alaska which was basically a couple of years behind the cultural trends anyway so I really got to experience all of the 80's full on in my face through my childhood. I think you did an outstanding job selecting eight tentpole icons to hang a good understanding of the 80's on.
