Pixies and Sonic Youth were so important to the eighties.
I'm a b-boy for life. I'm a dancer, I started with free style dancing and b-boying during the '80s and I always said to myself that when I get the chance to do my own thing, I will always have the b-boy element and the dance element because that's where I come from.
I'm a huge fan of Eighties music.
I grew up in the '80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period.
Truthfully, I'm pretty stuck in the '80s.
I was lucky to start playing guitar in the Eighties when so many great players were around to inspire me, like Yngwie Malmsteen, Van Halen and especially Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden.
My favorite music is '80s music which drives people around me crazy. I really love it.
Nothing's changed from when I'm seven years old to now. Nothing's changed at all. I like the same stuff that I did - Kiss, Van Halen, 'Happy Days,' 'Laverne & Shirley,' 'The Brady Bunch,' monsters and all that stuff.
I grew up in the '80s, when breaking was cool, and then it got corny in the '90s, and it became cool again with all these choreographed B-Boy dance crews.
I would never take part in one of those Eighties nostalgia tours, although I've been asked many times, because it's like admitting you have nothing new to offer. As long as I can keep making music I'm happy with, and people want to come to my gigs to hear it, I'll carry on.
I love heavy music, but you see, I had fallen in love with a radio station in Vegas that played nothing but Eighties music. That had a real profound impact on me.
I should have lived through the '80s, not been born in it. My style is a mix of hip-hop and '80s casual.
I love so many songs from the '80s, but I'm obliged to the big ones.
My style of music is the great American songbook meets the pop world of the Seventies and Eighties.
I loved the whole New Romantic, New Wave thing... New Order, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Blancmange, Yazoo.
If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!
I love '80s beats; everyone does.
There's always some promoter having an '80s night, saying, We'll supply the band. All you can drink.
There is some Eighties music that is just timeless. The melodies, the lyrics... I called it church. Church in club. You can shout and dance. The best of the Eighties was club church.
