KLF?
can't compare that to Bon Jovi EVER!!
I did like KLF for a while though. Some of the others I've never heard of to be honest....
Are they all Scandinavian?
I didn't know I did, it was just a few of the names I remember. I can now also remember names like Ozzy, The Thin White Duke formerly known as David Jones (that was a word-joke on David Bowie), Visage (who had connection to Bowie and was in the Ashes to Ashes video with him), The Stranglers, The Damned, A-Ha, Neena, Kim Wilde (Kim Wilde and Neena sang a duet-version of one of Neena's 80s hits, sounds really good. She had both german and english versions and in this new version she sings german while Wilde sings english and the lyrics fit very well with them singing two different languages as well, and they're both still nice to look at).
Btw, I wasn't only talking about music when I mentioned the 80s. Group-B was a racing-class mainly used in rally, although some race-track cars existed under that regulation too. It's the class that gave birth to such cars as: Ferrari 288 GTO, Porsche 959 (and it's one-off now destroyed racing-version 961, not to be mistaken for the 962C Group-C car), Lancia Delta S4 (that had both a supercharger and a turbocharger like VW has now with their TwinCharger engine), Ford RS200, Peugeot 205 Turbe 16, MG Metro 6R4 (if you don't know this car then don't look for it, ew it's ugly!), Audi Sport Quattro (the Sport Quattro was the short-wheelbase model of the normal Audi Quattro Coupe) etc.
The De Lorean of course is a car, also seen in several music videos btw, including an episode of Miami Vice and that's where Jan Hammer is from, he was the musician that made the themes for that show, he also had a few cameos, one as a hit-man. He is one of my three favourite musicians that are excellent in making beautiful music using electronic instruments. The two others are Vangelis and Jean Michael Jarre and to round off this story then those two actually made a version of Hammer's Crockett's Theme later on, isn't that wild?
Oooh! I just remember, how can I talk about 80s music and not mentioned Dieter and Boris, better known as Yello! "Oh Yeah!", "The Race", "Bostich" and many more. I believe they're swizz, Happy can you confirm this? Oh yeah, there's Falco from Austria too who had several hits too. Oh man I'm getting the need to buy some more 80s compilation CD's, as if the 5 I have already weren't enough
When you can't fly then music is the next best thing, especially playing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Learning To Fly".

P.S. The t-shirts and blazers was of course another reference to Miami Vice. Btw, the fruit-coloured part was because I remember a scene where one of the other cops asked where Crockett got those fruit-coloured T-Shirt to which he replied: your wife gave it me to (or something like that, I haven't seen it in years).
