It’s, like, totally bitchin’ you came back to find out what my favorite X’s are from the 1980s. Like the most righteous tv show, movie and music from the 80s.

Sorry, but I could not remember any television shows I watched in the 1980s beginning with X (nor could I find any), so no tv on this post.

Xanadu movie
Nowhere near the hit Grease was, Xanadu was still a great film for any fan of Olivia Newton-John or the 1980s or roller skating. It was a goofy fantasy movie, usually not my thing, but I adored Olivia Newton-John (see my O post) so I absolutely loved Xanadu as an almost eight year old in 1980 and still love it today.

 

Xanadu soundtrack
I think I wore my Xanadu record out. We used to take our record player out to the carport and roller skate to the soundtrack round and round in our ribbon barrettes just like Olivia wore in Xanadu. A great soundtrack including “Magic,” “Suddenly,” “Whenever You’re Away From Me,” “All Over the World” and the title song “Xanadu.”

 

Thank you for joining me on my trip back to the totally tubular 1980s as I complete my Blogging from A to Z Challenge. What was your favorite tv show, movie and band or song from the 80s starting with the letter X? Please come back tomorrow to read about my faves from the 80s that start with the letter Y. And be sure to check out the 1970s from A to Z here.
