The Smiths, Definately. The cure are great too, but i don't consider them an 80s band because they've been going for so long.

THE POLICE and also: Tears for Fears Men at Work The Eurythmics Crowded House Fleetwood Mac (though they are more a 70s band in my mind) Tom Petty If we're talking strictly pop music, I would exclude U2, New Order, REM, The Church & such (what used to be called "alternative" back when the term meant something). There was really more good "one hit wonders" in the 80s more than consistently good musos I think: 99 Red Balloons - Nena (the greatest upbeat apocalyptic song!) Major Tom - Peter grrr Schiffer ?? I forgot his name again! Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes etc. ~ josh
