80's Rock bands
 

I was watching Scuzz the other day and I only noticed that they barely had any 80's rock. I don't know about you but I thought the eighties were as prosperous for rock as it was for slashers but now by most people in my generation, they're almost forgotten. I play Black Sabbath, Motley Crue, motorhead, alice cooper, kiss, van halen etc. on my iPod at school and nearly nobody know who they were. So, since I wasn't born in the eighties, I can't judge them all too well but I am interested in your opinions. What do you think of eighties rock bands and what were your favourites? I've made the connection of horror to rock so hopefully a lot of you are also into that.

Also, which brand of rock do you prefer most? Metal, soft, pop (shudder), basic eighties, Emo or any others?

Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were my faves. :p

I like punk, psychobilly, rockabilly, and hardcore punk mostly.

add classic honkey-tonk and some 70s glam and that's my taste

I forgot about the honkey tonk, I love Hank Sr and Patsy Cline.Have you heard of the Nedwrecks?Check them out, great stuff.

I went to Motely crue..G.N.R and Poisons concerts when they came to NZ
and Bros..
I have over 5000 70/80/90's music.

\m/ Slayer \m/

Great 80's bands:


Minor Threat
Black Flag
GG Allin
The Flaming Lips(i know they are still around but started in the early 80's)
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Social Distortion
Guns n Roses
The Meatmen

I'm a big fan of some of Dollar's early 80's work, their Trevor Horn singles mostly. I love that song "Give Me Back My Heart," it's so damn sweet.
