    Favorite 80s group

    I like music from the 80s:

    Here are a bunch of groups I prefer:

    The Police
    U2
    Depeche Mode
    Simply Red
    They might be Giants
    Tears for Fears
    Violent Femmes

    I cannot think of any others at the moment but I know I'm missing some

    RE: Favorite 80s group

    Motorhead, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Madonna (I feel I have to explain this...I've always thought I hated madonna, but over the years, I've a heard a bunch songs and seen a buncha videos that I either like cuz of the music or because they bring back good memories. After actually counting those songs and videos, it turns out the number is big enough for me to like her as an artist, rather than just some random songs. It's a little gay, I know.) I also like some other random radio songs from artists like billy idol, dead or alive, a-ha, etc. U2 was also pretty good actually. Don't like most of their newer stuff though.

    RE: Favorite 80s group

    I do like some of Madonna's early stuff.
    A-Ha! yes! They had that hit "take on me" with a killer video, one of my faves.
    GnR was great back in the 80s, I also liked Def Lepard.
    I forgot to mention early Beastie Boys probably their best stuff came from that decade.

    Favorite 80s group

    KISS

    Well okay... they started in the 70's... but wth [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    If that doesn't qualify then... well... there are too many good bands from the 80's. Almost all music was good back then, when commercial shit barely existed.

    RE: Favorite 80s group

    Twisted Sister was great, dunno if they'd really be considered 80s though. And Duran Duran had their moments. Also GnR of course.

    Actually, come to think of it the 80s was a golden age for music, I agree Terra.

    RE: Favorite 80s group

    I'm glad to see other people liked Madonna back then...I really liked a lot of her music back in the mid-to-late 80's and early 90s (first heard her music when I was like 3 years old)...Abba existed during the 80s and I still like a lot of the songs on Gold (though I don't really know any other songs besides the ones on that album).

    I think as a child I even liked the birdy song (before anyone sends me any cyanide (sp?) laced mail remember that I was very young when I liked it!)

    tbh I'm struggling to think of a band that I liked at the time, but if GNR and the Manic Street Preachers (very very very late 80s) count then yeah [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    Most of what I liked from the 80s was from various singers because my parents exposed me to a lot of compilation tapes when we went on holiday...I repeatedly heard songs by bands like Abba/Culture Club/Adam and the Ants etc so most of the songs I liked from the 80s are the only song I know by that particular band [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    Twisted Sister counts at 80's. And they are indeed good.

    I agree about Iron Maiden & early Madonna aswell!
