Favorite Band From The 80s??

GNfnR, no question.

 

Wow, tough call, but for me, it would probably have to be either GNR or the Crue.

 

the cure.

 

definately boy george and culture club... he's so hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i disagree . i think GNR isn't that much special, though they gave soime veruy good songs and i definately don't like them to such an extend that i could call myself a fan.... maybe its different in america though

 

black flag.

 

WANG CHUNG>>>
Everybody have fun tonight.............

 

Huey Lewis and the News still remain my favorite band from the 80's. :tongue:

 

Maybe XTC, or one of the bands from the 2 Tone label like The Specials or The Selecter or The Bodysnatchers (incredibly girl ska group, who were only around long enough for two or three singles).
Devo and The Clash were great, too.
After thinking about it I'm gonna say Richard Thompson, some of his greatest solo albums were released in the 80s.

 

new order

 

Slayer. Favorite singer: Kim Wilde.

 

Metallica!!

 

guns and roses. kickass band with great performers. even though its fucked up now, i have hope for the future. i wish axl and slash and duff would stop being bitches and get back together.

 

Chili Peppers

 

if i am in a bad mood, the fall

if it gets worse, swans

[the 80s were a terrible decade]

 

Yep, The Fall for me too.

 

Gotta love the big hair band ballads. Every Rose has it's Thorns, Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone, Patience, Love Hurts, I Remember You, Love Song and of course Heaven.

 

The smiths favourite band from the 80's. My favourite artist was Prince. Both of these win by a mile.

But then I am a big fan of the Cure, Dire straits and Bruce Springsteen (Wasn't huge on the slightly earlier 70's stuff, to gritty)
