80's music!

[Stax]

Right for all the older Goaters out there, who was the smoothest band of the 80s, for me it had to be a tie, ABC & Heaven 17!

For me, No one, and I mean No one can touch the acoustic political ramblings of Billy Bragg.

Oh The 80's

Oh The 80's

Adam & The Ants were No.1 - 'Stand And Deliver' when I went through Swinderby. How about a bit of Blondie or Kwim Wilde... in the best possible taste of course.
Or how about any music being danced to by Hot Gossip... how impressionable can a young boy be?!?!?!DT_Xtremez_15:

[MASTER DISCIPLE OF SPICE]

My top 80's band would have been Guns'n'Roses but i am huge RUSH fan and they cross 4 decades worth.

I though most 80's stuff was total shi&e at the time but hearing now some stuff was great.

I loved Deacon Blue, Hue & Cry and oddly Talking Heads featured on a disc or 2.

 

[maninthevan]

Its gotta be Duran Duran all the way............!!! Oh and I agree, Billy Bragg was the 'biz'

 

[Notsoblunt]

Madness and The Specials - nuff said

My top 80's band would have been Guns'n'Roses but i am huge RUSH fan and they cross 4 decades worth.

Saw Guns n' Roses last weekend at Download festival in Donington park, totally different lineup apart from Axl Rose and a guest appearance by Izzy Stradlin, but they were excelent once they got over Axl's storming off the stage in a temper because of a slippery stage. Also Metallica were there too, another great 80's metal band who probably played the best live set I have ever had the fortune to witness (and I have seen a lot!)

But my all time best 80's band and probably favourite band of all time I have gotta agree with Iron Maiden. First time I saw them was Monsters of Rock at Donington in '88 and I was amazed from start to end, seen them about half a dozen times now and they are always fantastic.
