Are we helping you with some kind of assignment on the 80s here tomzo?
These are brilliant photos guys, thanks. What an interesting decade.
Erm basically, yes. I'm just adding the finishing touches to one!
This one was taken by Trimix's brother, circa 88. And yeah, that is my sax BTW 🙂

Although they started in the 80's I always associates the Stone Roses more with the 90's

two-tone/rude boys = 70's ?
Started in 78 - 79ish, became popular in the early 80's as I recall from my youth
In fact the actual 2 Tone record label was started in 79, I think it should be allowed.

I know it has already been posted, but i think the Berlin Wall is just an iconic symbol of the 1980s.
