 |  |  |  | Remembering the '80s
By the mid-'80s the wave of teen idols had lessened considerably. Singers from this period, like Rick Springfield and Jack Wagner, were older than usual and more handsome than cute.
Perhaps it isn't surprising then that some of the most memorable pop music from this time (and to a degree, ever since) came not from America but from Great Britain. Don't miss our UK section for a sample of some of the best this country had to offer! |
