Featured Replies

Which one is your favorite?

 

And no, "the hairstyles from A Flock of Seagulls" is NOT an option.

I voted U2. They ARE the rock band of the 80's!

well my intention was to write U2! :D

U2, but what is this "...ech" with van halen, and by the way, how the fuck can you not put INXS, Tears For Fears and Queen on an 80's band pull?

  • Author

INXS aren't on there for the same reason that The Fixx, The Cure, The Smiths, A-Ha, Poison, Twisted Sister, Madonna, Hall and Oats, The Alan Parsons Project, Blondie, Soft Cell, ABC, Run-D.M.C., Tiffany, Suzanne Vega, Eurythmics, The Buggles, Culture Club, Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, The Police, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Asia, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Oingo Boingo, Thompson Twins, Whitesnake, Robert Palmer, Wang Chung, and Fine Young Cannibals aren't on there:

 

It took up too much time to create the selectors. If my connection speed wasn't so crappy, they would all be on there.

you're also forgetting Bon Jovi.

 

the only bands that should be on that list are

Bon Jovi

Van Halen

INXS

Tears For Fears

Hall and Oates

Genesis

The Police

Queen

U2

Hall and Oates?......

I used to like them, but then I was stuck in a car on the way to Arizona with only them playing. For about 2 hours. Nonstop.

What no Devo, the Replacements, Husker Du, X, Dead Kennedys? :)

 

I liked 80's REM too.

ahhh i see U2 are in the slight lead then! :lol:

 

1980's bands are sooooooooooooooooooo cool

 

mega mega cheesy sometimes....but way cool :lol:

cant believe no one here has heard of Tears For Fears before, Everbody Wants To Rule The World is one of my fav songs of all time.

That song is great. It's one of the first songs to get me hooked on 80's music.

Well If you talk about all the bands, not only the option, I would say I rather prefair Queen than U2. Both are amazing bands
