Oh I agree your point, my take is that dividing history (of any sort) into arbitrary ten year chunks is an exercise in futility. Events and cultures just aren’t that convenient.

Grace never got her ‘due props,’ back when she was young; she intimidated the hell out of… well, pretty much everyone, including me.

It took me until Boomerang to realize just how awesome she is…

Godley and Creme - that song still haunts me.
Damn it, Miami Vice, for giving me an alternate video in my head!

This thread is reminding me of how much MTV I must have watched back when it was music videos.

I don’t have much experience with the 80’s, but I know the 90’s really started in the 80’s.
