En los ochenta, yo ________ vestir como Madonna. In the eighties I wanted to dress like Madonna. (HINT: Conjugate "querer" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.) The phrase "en los ochenta" looks strange to me, but apparently it is correct! If I had been guessing, I would have guessed "las ochentas".

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate regular -er and -ir verbs in the imperfect tense in Spanish (El Imperfecto)"

Hola Rick

Decades in Spanish (from Spain) are always said and written in singular (In Latin America it is also common to hear/write the plural: en los ochentas) and always with the article in masculine because it is referring to "the years":

"En los [años] setenta/ochenta/noventa"

Saludos
