The eighties are well known for the explosion of pop culture, such as the over-the-top fashion, Miami Vice styles and "big hair".
The Eighties were also full of musical diversity: MTV was born, and Michael Jackson dominated Billboard charts, with Thriller becoming the world's all-time best selling album. New Wave music hit the scene, propelling stars like Devo and Blondie to international stardom.
Billy Joel, Phil Collins and Elton John continued their string of hit songs, Madonna was introduced and topped the charts with songs such as "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl" and bands like The Bangles and Bananarama gave us a slew of fun chartbusters. "One hit wonders" like Flock of Seagulls, Dexy's Midnight Runners and countless others gave us at least one song apiece that will be forever etched in the memories of Generation Xers.
Heavy metal, with artists such as Iron Maiden, Poison, Great White and Judas Priest, Big Hair Bands and Glam metal became one of the most dominating music genres of the 1980s, as did Alternative Rock bands such as R.E.M. and The Smiths.
