[yellowperil]

R.E.M., or The Cure

Currently I like Radio Free Europe, or Just Like Heaven

 

[syzygy]

don't recall much about them years but a few groups that have spilled into
today are one or two songs from ub40, early bryan adams, one song from the
beta band, police, and tom petty (like his stuff from the 1980's more than
the 1990's).

[bigd480]

i dunno... Police, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Erasure and 10^4 Maniacs are probably the top 5... i like 80's music...

EDIT: Oh yeah, New Order and U2...

 

[Carbo]

Who the hell remembers the 80's?

 

[HowardStern]

I'm 35, and I can remember hearing Falco's Der Kommissar in 1982 (or was it 1983) and I've been a big fan of the Austrian singer ever since.

 

[Tauren]

R.E.M. - Maps and Legends or Seven Chinese Brothers

 

[yasha]

I liked "The Cramps." They're a Punkabilly band.

 

[snakesnfrogs]

R.E.M.

 

[FireGal]

Def Leppard and Foreigner.

 

[xochi]

The Outfield

I still listen to their music, "Say it isnt so", "your love" its good stuff.

 

[JediKnut]

Guns N' Roses!

 

[bigd480]

<< The Outfield

I still listen to their music, &quot;Say it isnt so&quot;, &quot;your love&quot; its good stuff. >>

they just played, or will play at some 80's concert here in houston sponsored by the 80's radio station... i think The Fixx and some other bands will be there...

 

[Nightfall]

The Fixx and Hardline were two really good 80's bands. You do have to throw AC/DC in there too.

 

[CinderElmo]

New Order - any song off Power Corruption and Lies

Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Voltaire, early U2, are other of my favorites from that distant era.

 

[cyclistca]

Well I like Franz Joseph Haydn. I think some of his greatest works where from 1780 to 1790.














Oh did you mean the 1980's? Well then it would be Depeche Mode and New Order.

 

[yakko]

Pop Will Eat Itself.

 

[SuperT]

echo and the bunnymen, depeche mode, husker du, dead kennedys, violent femmes.....kind of miss that 80's music.....jesus we're all dating ourselves

 

[thedarkwolf]

Everybody is going to laugh at me

Motley Crue

Well thats who I really like in the 80s


Hopefully also really liking 80s Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Metallica now will redeem it a little.

 

[Bosec]

AeroSmith

 

[JediKnut]

thedarkwolf, Glam ruled in the 80's! &amp; Motley Crue ruled glam! 'tallicA, Maiden &amp; the rest REALLY Rock tho'

 

[datalink7]

I like very few bands from the 80's. Here are the ones I can think of that I like:

U2 (this would be my favorite)- Favorite Song = With or Without you OR Sunday Bloody SUnday
Genesis (sp?)
REM

 

[lnk57]

Def Leppard

 

[yasha]

SuperT> I forgot to mention Dead Kennedys in my post

They were &quot;The&quot; best punk band of all time! The brit punk crap like Sex Pistols were p*ssies compaired to D.K..
