Business as Usual and Cargo would make one album these days. I like all the Talking Heads albums too.

The 80's were odd times for me. Worked way too much so exploring new bands took a backseat. I continued to listen to the bands that I liked in the 70's.

 

Aerosmith - Done With Mirrors

Pete Townshend - Empty Glass / White City / All The Best Cowboys ...

Tom Petty - Hard Promises / Long After Dark

Rush - All

Yes - 90125 / Big Generator

Van Halen - All DLR / 5150 / OU812

The Pretenders - All

The Police - All

The Who - Face Dances / It's Hard

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse....

The Rolling Stones - Steel Wheels

This isn't possible.

 

I will point out, however, that Goose listed what was my favorite band for years, Business as Usual.

 

And then ended the list with my favorite band at the end of the 80's, Midnight Oil.

 

That was pretty awesome.

That would have been band #11 on my list of ten. I just didn't listen to them much until Eponymous came out.
