Hair metal had to be one of the most unGodly forms of music ever heard by the ears of a human being...so terrible. A lot of great bands came out of the 80s though, The Cure, R.E.M., The Smiths, etc. For Alternative stuff, the 80s were terrific.
The Smiths are one of my alltime favourite bands, waaay better than solo Morrissey. The Cure and Iron Maiden were great, too.
What's that meant to mean.. [/b][/quote] XD Motley Crue, Megadeth and Metallica were pretty good, but Slayer might be the best to come out of the 80's.
Yeah the metal bands were good too but today's metal bands are just as good (some of them). It's just the pop was so much better in the 80's.
Then Jericho, Climie Fisher, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Huey (sp?) Lewis and The News, The Eurythmics, Mr Mister, I like alot more i just cant really remember the names of them...Owh i think Enigma was out in the 80's also and they (he) is awesome.
I listen to 80's music every once in a while. My own personal favorite band from the 80's is Tears For Fears. Great band, great music.
I love the Smiths too, incredible band, such a shame no one in the States knows of the impact they made on music today
The 80's music was pretty damn good. I've always liked it and i still do. I like don't like all songs though, but there are really good ones. I still listen
