| Posted by: Lawless | | Def Leppard has ALWAYS been my #1 band since 1981....
I loved both rock and new wave in the 80's, but tend to really like the new wave more now than the rock.
Some bands that I was pretty crazy about back then:
Duran Duran, Oingo Boingo, Echo & the Bunnymen, Boy George
Motley Crew, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Queensrych, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Whidden | | I did not like tears for fears, though I remember the album, Songs from the big chair.
I loved Huey Lewis. She's heart and soul. What a tune.
Born in the USA album by Bruce Sprinstien, that was a good album.
Flock of Seagulls, I ran, they was a good band.
World party, ship of fools, that was a good tune. | | Reply To this Message

Have you seen him on Vh1's Bands reunited? He is old and fat and wears a base ball cap.
He can still sing though.
It's good to see all these bands from the 80's, and that they turned out like normal people.
The only two I can think of who stayed weird are Micheal Jackson and Boy George. Dey still lookin freaky!

Didn't Boy George die of AIDS? Or was that Queen? |
Boy George is still alive . I saw him on tv the other day with some really weird makeup thing happening that looked like a pelican crapped on his head

| Posted by: Lawless | | I agree... I remember seeing a special on Boy George, on VH1 (I think) and he was dressed in his "I Just got crapped on by a bird" look. It's horrible.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: fuscia | | I agree Dave. He is just scary now. He is off drugs and dresses like that? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Whidden | | Someone told me that it's not makeup, that it's tattoo's.
I looks like makeup to me. I hope it's makeup. I hope someone would not mutilate themselves like that forever!

| Posted by: fuscia | | I think it is make-up. I thought I saw him with blue on the bird poop stuff instead of black. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Larke2000 | | holy power ballads batman!
let's see...
U2 has to be my favorite 80's band. one reason is because they lasted past the 80s. it's hard to really love a one-hit wonder band. i mean i still get chills everytime i hear where the streets have no name and with or without you.
and the boss! bruce springsteen.
