Nice guitars, though...

Talk to me when you get to the 80s. It's amazing how many "musicians" tried to look like Heather Locklear. Long whispy hair, some spandex and a cucumber = 80s rock talent.

There were some really bad hairstyles during the 80s especially among the androgyonous bubblegum metal and so-called "glam" bands, but there were some cool ones as well; the return of the pompadour and mod cut, as well as the modified shag. Of course there was the Flock of Seagulls `doo, and all of the New Romantic bands with the extreme side parted bangs attempting to mimic Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music's trademark hairstyle.

The 70s had some awful hairstyles as well, along with a prevalence of porn star mustaches.

Well in fairness, I never claimed that the 80s had a monopoly.

Hey I think Brian Engblom is playing the Fender in the background



Always thought he looks like he has a chicken sitting on his head

Ummmm. Well, if they were girls, both clothes and haircuts wouldn't look that bad... but they're not girls (still, their hair-do's don't scream, "get a haircut, boy", as loud as some others shown here). If only i could find something like what that guy in the middle is in.
80s, yeah. And modern "emo style", with short back and sides and a fringe so long that it could have served well as a broom. Sorry. Yep, i know it's "fashionable" but to me it looks horrible.

These two were always good for a giggle.

Bad to the point of being funny:

(I don't mean Red Army Choir, of course)

Sorry, Sheena, but I have to disagree with your review...I'm callin' this: 'Funny to the point of bein' not bad!' I am quite positive I will never hear this stupid, wretched song performed any better. Спасибо, мой русский сестру!

(Y'know, it's almost like they're makin' fun of 'US'...but that couldn't be, could it?)
