Ha! I’m a few years younger (graduated in 88) and I traded a Don Martin comic for a Triumph poster in.. 1981? 82? Via a Canadian CBC kids show “Switchback”. I haven’t thought of them in forever. Thanks for the memory trip!

Christ...they all look like they're about 12 years old. 😂 Great music...I had forgotten all about them. 👏👏👏👏👏

Indeed. A smile came across my face when I saw that pop up, and I mashed the play button so damn fast

The early 1980s were my high school years. I graduated in 1983. I count myself lucky that I got to see MTV launched, new wave, and the rise of artists like Prince. ❤️

Same, I graduated in '83 as well, and so much iconic music came from that era.
