Favorite 80's bands

[shindig]

I'm bored (or is it board?) and listening to 80's rock on Alexa. Sure, some of you probably weren't even born, but surely you have an 80's song (or sock) or band that you like. Here are a few of mine:

- Van Halen - Dance the Night Away
- U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- R.E.M - End of the World as We know it
- Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen
- GnR - Sweet Child O' Mine
- Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark

but to add to the thread:


NWA

Early Metallica really was so cool.


It’s morbid to say, but for the sake of their legacy, they woulda been better off all dying in the bus.

[ousdahl]

Oh! And the talking heads were an 80s band, right?

[TDub]

Yep. Burning down the house. When I was a Delta Chi and the SAE house next to us caught fire, one of my pledge brothers put these huge speakers in the window of the D Chi house and played "Burning down the house" over and over...it was so funny. They hated us.

I guess this is the thread we ask Deadheads how they feel about Brent?


I dig him as a whole except for when he uses that plinky effect that makes his keyboard sound like some annoying kid’s toy

Too many to list. The 80's was my decade. Graduated both HS and college in that decade.

80’s music is 99% trash

[TDub]

Eagles? Maybe they were more 70s but I listened to a lot of Eagles in the 80s.

What? It's probably the most diverse decade of music and styles, something for everyone, except you I guess.

[shindig]

I only saw Metallica once in concert, circa 1990, but I primarily went to see the opening band, The Cult.

[jhawks99]

There was some real crap music in the 80's. Some good stuff too, it just wasn't on MTV.
