> Post On The '80s Board
 
With another Bush in the White House and U2 packing arenas, it seems like an '80s revival is in full effect. So VH1 corralled some of that grand decade's biggest stars to see if there was more to the '80s than the haircuts sported by Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice. Over five nights, we look at how videos changed the music business, alternative rock earned itself a toe-hold, and hip-hop became a pop commonplace. Shannen Doherty hosts, and everyone from Billy Idol to Boy George shares first-hand accounts. The '80s are back.
