Black Flag was alright... I have to say I think Super Tramp is alright. Hair band anthems also kick ass, like Twisted Sister stuff and such.

The song that always sticks in my head is Love Bites by Def Leppard. Memories of an old girlfriend :brokenheart: She later died in a car accident. I kept the original cassette of this that she had given me.
Love Bites

Sorry, music has disowned the 80's. The 80's is dead to me.

Just kidding. I hate the 80's, but I can't stop listening to this song.

The Wipers - Youth In America
