I had the opportunity to preview the “Rock of Ages” CD from the new Broadway Show. I will confess that I am a total ’80’s girl. I love 80’s music and would in fact wear my hair as big as I could if it was still socially acceptable. My beauty regime in the ’80’s consisted of Aquanet and Wet & Wild. Ahh, those were the days.
A little about this show – In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker and in LA’s most famous rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. It’s ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through hits of JOURNEY, NIGHT RANGER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more. My favorite is Bon Jovi. Oh, the love for Bon Jovi.
So, it was totally fun to listen to the Rock of Ages CD. Actually, I think this will be a show that I will see when I go to New York. Reliving your youth is always fun!
I want to give one of you the opportunity to relive the 80’s while listening to the Rocks of Ages CD. Just simply leave a comment about your favorite 80’s thing! Giveaway ends 08/01.

Definitely Aqua Net!
Loved the blue eye shadow!
I had a pair of black cotton pants that had straps that went over your shoulders. I think they were called suspender pants but the “suspenders” were part of the pants. I loved them and thought I was the coolest thing walking when I wore them. Oh, and who can forget leg warmers?
MTV videos, so cool to dance to.
One favorite from the 80’s? Can’t be done, but I can narrow it to music and movies. I still love the 80’s music…from Bon Jovi to Survivor. And great movies…Dirty Dancing, St. Elmo’s Fire, Breakfast Club. Still remember how cool I thought my high school teacher was when she let us watch Breakfast Club in Sociology Class.
Looks like a great album, thanks for the giveaway.

I am such a big 80s music fan! Great giveaway and I think that would be wonderful to see in NY!
I could not live without my crimping iron and acid washed levi’s I used pliers to put on…
Love the 80s music, styles, & memories!
OMG! I was and am a total 80s girl. I still listen to the hair bands, I still watch the videos and dream of the day hair metal will return. If I had been old enough I would have been a total groupie, would have ran away from home and lived of Peanut butter on sunset. I want this CD!!!
My favorite 80’s thing was watching Thunder Cats on TV.
Graduated in ‘86 and love the ‘80. Can’t decide my favorite thing….neon, new wave, valley girl, buttons on my jean jacket…..too many to list!
I really really would love to see this play. It sounds like a lot of fun. I’m not an 80’s girl, so I can’t really say what I loved THEN but nowadays, I do like the music and the movies. Some of my favorites are from the 80’s. They don’t really make certain things like they did in the 80’s when it comes to films.

Although I was born in the 80’s I grew up listening to all those big hair bands and still love them! Funny thing is that my husband and I don’t agree on much music but we definately do on this. Thanks for the giveaway. Would be cool if I won!
Okay, I was a kid in the 80’s…so…my favorite thing was the cartoons! Man…they don’t make ‘em like they used to.
I like the music of the 80’s, but my dad was a rocker in the 80s and I know my parents would get a total kick out of something like this!
The movies from the 80s!! Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire..how can you top that!
My Favorite thing about the 80’s was making up dance routines to Madonna songs with my sisters. We used brushes as microphones. Those were some fun times!
I caught the end of the 80’s but man o man, they were the best. Every song brings back memories of more “innocent” times…lol. Me and dh would love love love this CD. I wouldn’t mind seeing the show either! Thanks for the give-a-way!
Oh and my fav thing was dressing like Madonna, jellies, and aqua net/rave hairspray!
Those were the days, all decked out in my parachute pants, with a neon shirt, skinny tie, and matching earrings. Teasing my hair as big as it would get and plastering it with Aqua Net. Then off to the mall to check out the long haired guys that hung out there on Friday night. Loved the hair bands or the 80’s!
Hmmm… I remember having stirrup pants, parachute pants (plz dont tell anybody!), members only jackets, oh and watching all the “Brat Pack’s” movies, glad our radio stations still play 80s music! don’t think I ever left that era!
I’m a product of the 80’s and LOVE BON JOVI!
I miss those days- days at the beach. nights at the clubs. “Nikki” pretty much summed it up. Where did the time go? Glam metal!!!!
Nothing like 80’s music to take you back to the good old days….Candies, Big Hair and Great Bands! Life was good….
Definately the hair & the skin tight jeans :) Reading the comments, brings back memories – yes, those were the years!

BIG HAIR for sure. Laying in the sun non stop. Farrah Fawcett Hair. Flashdance. Leg warmers with giant colored earrings.
It’s the music!!!
The music! Chicago, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Queen…
I was at the end of it, but I personally love the movies. I also can’t help but get a kick out of the leg warmers and hair being teased.
Favorite thing- Monster ballads and hair bands!
I had jeans called bubble gum jeans. They were stretchie & tight :) My sis had a light pink pair & mine was light blue.
Head Bangers Ball & the club scene.
Playing out in my band & the feel of the times. Everything was good & easy going.
Well..I grew up in the 80’s and I miss the slap bracelets, jelly shoes, layered socks, and BIG hair! :) …not to mention, the MUSIC!
