My favorite decade would have to be 80's growing up as a child this was my youth, ( being a 76 baby the 80's were my childhood)
 I remember jelly shoes, care bears,cabbage patch dolls, madonna, friendship bracelets, frizzy perms and florescent makeup and clothes. 
The tv shows like Family Ties, Cosby Show, Saved By the Bell. Or rockin movies like Pretty in Pink, Karate Kid,or Dirty Dancing.


Here is my fave summer 80's list of nostalgic summer songs....
