I'm so jealous on my parents, they had the best music, cars, hairstyles of seventies and eighties... What do we have? Crappy GaGa's and shit.

I need timemachine so i can go back and have a little fun!

[islanderboi89]

what the hell mannn .. :s

[NobodyOwesYouAnythin]

I lived the 80's both in America and overseas. And let me tell you, the people overseas are not partying to the garbage they crack out today like sausage. 70's & 80's music is the predominant form of music in most countries and sang in many languages. The trash music of today, including most of the 90's trash bubble gum, talentless crap. Back then they actually had to be able to sing. Today, machines keep them on key because they have a pretty face and can't sing for shit. 70's & 80's Rock :-)

@LedZeppelinCRO The 80s weren't exactly the best decade for cars; no wonder many music videos from that decade feature 50s and early '60s ones. Except for a select few, it was a shoe box wasteland. But the music was great!

[musiclover1ism]

the first one is actually from the 70's lol

[FreeBlago1]

We had DJ Ez Rock and they got GaGa. LOL! Sucks to be them. (Only thing, they are 20 years older than us, sigh.)
