This is a LATE 80s list . . . I came of age in the early 80s . . . believe it or not . . . Big Big BIG difference! I started high school in 1983, and most of this list is for the younger 80s generation . . .

I agree John and some of it came from the 70s and beyond (the bike wheel stuff) and on into the 90s. I graduated in 86. Most of this was my kid sister who graduated in 93.
