the smiths the cure new order REM jesus and mary chain dire straights the specials madness the clash ultravox ozzy siouxie & the banshees queen 80 had some good indie, electro-rock going on. i liked the 2-tone movement aswell. but ive always said, the hair metal scene always tarnishes my view of the 80s, i tend to forget about the pluses. good bands though. |

Fair enough, but its not just hair metal, I wasn't speaking blindly when i said there were novelty acts abound. The hard part is making an argument when you can't remember their names. Aside from my own rememberence of what horrors existed then, if you've ever caught "I love the 80's" on VH1, then you would know what I meant. Songs about convoys and something with donald duck, im sure there was a packman song. Micky you're so fine, whatever the Knack wrote.
As I've said, I can't conjure every crap song that they dished out then, but the fact is that the 80's was inundated with garbage.
