The 1980's: What A Decade! I've just built a Squidoo page dedicated to the 1980's. It includes lots of classic 80's TV, Film and Music clips and videos. It's a very interactive page, visitors can vote for their favourite clips and even add their own. I'd be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to take a look at, comment upon or even contribute to this nostalgic work in progress. Click Here To Visit The 1980s Tribute Page.
