OMG - I am SO digging on this music!! Here are my answers:
1. Were you in school? I was a senior in High School
2. Were you in the military? Um, no.
3. What kind of music were you listening to? Everything you put at the top of the thread...plus some classic rock stuff like Van Halen and all the hair bands.
4. What do you recall as the best memory from 1985? Prom, graduating, spring break in Clearwater Beach with my friend - it was my first plane ride too!!
Dear God but I'm old!!
I was listening to Rush as a senior - how embarrassing...
Pooh! In '85 I was 13 years out of high school with 3 years of college under my belt, 9 years of military service, had a son, and another on the way, had been married for 10 years, was on my second tour in Germany, and listened to whatever was playing at the time!
And there are a few vets here much older than me. You? Old? Not hardly, Chica!
Well I've got 4 years on you! :-)
I graduated from UC Santa Barbara that year. Went to lots of punk shows at small venues in Socal - got into the pit each and every time - kept all my teeth!
