So I’m always looking for different ways to slice and dice the most awesome decade in American history, and this time I decided to challenge myself.<\/p>\n EVEN MORE ’80s:\u00a0TV Shows From the ’80s and ’90s – Did Anyone Watch Them?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The challenge? Choose one iconic ’80s person, place, thing, or trend for each letter of the alphabet. You know what? It wasn’t easy.<\/p>\n Some letters had a plethora of options. C meant choosing between dolls and bears, and Q came down to a real debate between\u00a0quintessential rockets\u00a0and a video game character. Other letters were shockingly thin \u2014 I’m looking at you, U. You’d think X would be the hard one, but as an Olivia Newton-John superfan with a love for roller skating, it was probably the easiest pick on the whole list. Was that too much of a hint?<\/p>\n So let’s get started. As you already know, we’re starting with a video game system and ending with some of the best rockers in history. That’s a range! I’ve even thrown in some of my runners-up in case you disagree with any of my picks.<\/p>\n Can you guess our pick for every letter of the alphabet in this ultimate ride through 1980s pop culture, from Atari to ZZ Top?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Stephen Lenz<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThese three co-starred in the movie we picked for X on our ’80s A-to-Z list. Any guesses?<\/q><\/p>\n
