What is your favorite band from the 80's?

[casimec]

GNR and Skid Row

 

[pulse8]

Warrant, Slaughter, Motley Crue, Def Leopard, Cinderella, White Lion, Guns and Roses, Poison and Winger. I love that stuff!

 

[woodly6]

I am gonna have to go with:

OPERATION IVY


Favorite song by them: Sound System or Smile When Your Friends Are Watchin'

 

[InFecTed]

Depeche Mode for sure, also R.E.M., Europe, GnR.
80's music is ok, but music clips look weird, those clothes and funny looking hair, man that's scary stuff

 

[themightyplatypus]

Minor Threat,Husker Du, Dead Kennedys, Janes Addiction,The Clash
These band s definately had an impact on me.

 

[mcveigh]

GNR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


slaughter!

 

[glenn1]

Since SuperT already mentioned the Violent Femmes (that would have been my first choice), i'll go with either The Clash or Love and Rockets.

 

[gravytrader]

:Q GOOD GOD!! Atleast one person mentioned Skinny Puppy! And to name a few others Front 242, Frontline assembly, Ministry etc etc.

 

[yasha]

Ministry's first album was pure junk! I think their album from '92 was actually their best. Skinny Puppy has always ruled of course. Did anyone like The Damned?

 

[kyutip]

I gotta agree with what pulse8 said.
they are good.

 

[guyver01]

Depeche Mode of course... and then there's Information Society!

 

[huanaku]

Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Alphaville.

 

[DannyLove]

New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, OMD, XTC, Pet Shop Ninos , many more. i have them all too

danny~!

I'm surprised we haven't had any Jon Bon Jovi fans speak up

 

[hpkeeper]

GNR and Metallica

Good God, People! This thread is really under the guise of "Who are the old farts here?"

For those of you who declared the hair, bubblegum metal bands, there are weekly mental health meetings to help you. ( I'll be there too. I'm the guy with the black leather jacket and black T-shirt from the '88 Cinderella, Winger, Slaughter Tour.)

I'm gonna have to go with Def Leppard, GnR, John Cougar, and don't forget Prince.
