BDM nailed most of what i was going to say: Ginger Lynn, Traci Lords, Gere later. I came of age in the 80's(I was born in '68) and that was a great time for porn. I have the same feelings about punk rock as I do smut. The people who were making both back then were something special. Now everything is mainstream and available and just not special anymore.
Yeah, 90's here. Porn was moving into gonzo and getting more and more fucked up and hardcore by the minute which explains my Inari Vachss obssession. I was enamored by her high pitch voice, perfect ass, and insane sloppy bj skills. I also heard that she was quite intelligent for a whore. Don't really know if that's true or not.
