Permanent-Rush Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I would say The Cure. There the soundtrack to my life Note: The band has to be from the 80's. It can't be a band from another year active in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Smith's, for now. After I ponder it more, that may change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Iron Maiden. I know they formed in '75 and the demo is from '79, but if PR doesn't follow her own rules then why should I? I'm a loner, Dottie...a rebel. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This choice is from left field: The Smithereens. Loved the retro 60s power pop with jangley Rickenbacker guitar. Hey call them a Beatles wanna be, but they were different than anyone else at the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Tough for me to pick just one. Among them would be Men At Work, English Beat, DEVO, B52s. Specifically, these albums... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Iron Maiden. I know they formed in '75 and the demo is from '79, but if PR doesn't follow her own rules then why should I? I'm a loner, Dottie...a rebel. First album came out in 1980, so that counts as far as I'm concerned. How many people really know who a band is when they first form and release their early demos anyways? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Probably REM. There's just a lot of high quality albums from Murmur to Green. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Rush Permanent Waves to Presto Aside from that. The Fall, the Fixx, REM, Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Meat Puppets and Maiden. INXS was pretty good too. Edited October 5, 2017 by Digital Dad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 hmm, I could argue Genesis became a vastly different band in 1980 with the release of Duke, but that would be missing the point of this thread I think. Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, GNR, and Maiden all come to mind (and Slayer if I'm in the mood). R.E.M. are a quality choice. U2 are among my absolute favs at times. Bon Jovi are great when they're good. Bryan Adams' Reckless is a classic. Motley Crue are fun. Not really an 80s band, but the Chili's started in that decade. I believe Stevie Ray Vaughn counts. but yeah, most of my absolute favs got their start in the seventies. The 80s tended to be when subgenres first started blossoming and the radio became more or less homogenized. Thus most of the best artists specifically from the 80s tended to be huge within their scene, but didn't make humongous waves on the charts, not till the rise of the underground in the 90s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Chilis did start in the 80's. used to go there all the time. Sizzler , Dennys and Chilis. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name ur favorite band from the 80's, any 80's band but they have to be from the 80's. The Cure does count because they became big in the 80's, and there first album came out in 79, but no one knew them at the time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
