For those of you who grew up in the 80s, what were your biggest 80s influences?

These are a few o' mine:

film: "Raiders" (gee, I couldn't decide between this and "Ishtar")
books: The "Fletch" series by Gregory McDonald
musical group: Shane MacGowan & the Pogues
TV: probably "Late Night" with David Letterman
comics: The Hernandez Brothers' "Love and Rockets" and "Mr. X"

uh... what am I forgetting?

Anybody else care to dip back into their lost youth?
