Just buy GTA: VC and see if you like the soundtrack.
If you do, you'll like 80's music.
Hence, I voted yes.

Passion Burning, Love so strong.
I had not heard that one in years untill I saw the Eistien Brothers Bagel commercial last week.
My first music choice comes from the '70s. Much more serious lyrics, arangements and instrument skills. But, I do very much like quite a bit of music from the early '80s. Didn't care for Wham, Duran Duran or any disco that carried over into the '80s.
REO Speedwagon and The Police came out in the '70s, as did the bulk of Slammy1's list. The '80s groups and artists were a lot more upbeat and very musical. Lots of original stuff, which I really appreciate. Ones I liked included:

- Billy Idol

- The Call
- The Cars (late '70s)
- The Clash(late '70s)
- Crowded House
- Culture Club (VERY unique
) - Dexys Midnight Runners
- Dire Straits (Very late '70s and a BIG thumbs up!)
- Fine Young Cannibals
- The Go-Go's
- Men Without Hats
- Midnight Oil
- Modern English
- Nena
- Psychedelic Furs
- Scorpions ('70s-'80s)
80's is what I grew up with, and much better than some of the garbage out now. Don't get me wrong, there are good songs and bands out there, but the 80's just had a whole lot more.
mmmm....
U2, Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, B-52s, INXS, The Cars, R.E.M, Cheap Trick, Violent Femmes, Psychelic Furs, The Replacements, The Police, and on and on and...

Funny how so many of your choices dip back into the '70s. Something happened to music on the way to the new millennium, and it wasn't good. Rap sure didn't help! I'm certainly glad there's an abundance of classic rock stations to listen to. There probably wouldn't be so many, if today's music was worth a damn.

Can't think of anything from Styx that I like, but they also range back to 1973.Originally posted by: ness1469
STYX ROCKS!!!
I've been listening to a lot of 80's lately. Reminds me of my childhood
I can't think of many, if any, current artists or groups that will be played 2 years from now, let alone 20 or 30 years on!
"Abra, abracadabra--gonna reach out and grab ya" <---there's some Pulitzer winning lyrics there
Bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crew and the like had so much unrealized potential--all that hair would have provided a spectacular immolation

Leans a little toward the tree hugging spectrum, but not bad:
- Beds Are Burning
Midnight Oil
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
(A lot of these bands started in the late 70's, they became big in the 80's)
Devo
Police
Duran Duran
The Cure
U2
Depeche Mode
The Talking Heads
INXS
Blondie
The Cars
Foreigner
Rush
B-52's
REM
Billy Idol
The Go-go's
Banarama,
Oingo Boingo
The Violent Femmes
There was also a plethora of memorable one-hit wonders during that time:
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Tommy Tutone - 867-5309
The Vapors - Turning Japanese
Aha - Take on Me
There's also the bad, with crap like:
Tiffany
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians
Milli Vanilli
New Kids on the Block

Some. Yes.
All.
No.
But the same can be said for music from any decade.
Well except for the 60's of course.

There was some kind of synergy at work during this time. The great bands from the '70s were still cranking out quality stuff, and MTV was getting off the ground. It seemed to bring out the best in a wide range of musicians from around the world. Wonder what happened since...
I grew up on it so yes I do like it. I see 80's and early 90's as my music. It was at that time my CD collection grew.
Depeche Mode, Simple Minds, Talking Heads, U2, The Cure ......
Lots of them continued in to the early 90's.
