Uhm, well... I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some 80s bands that are worth listening to. I'm a big fan of late 70s and 80s music, and I already like:
Dead Or Alive
The Bangles
Kajagoogoo
Fleetwood Mac
The Commodores
Bananarama
... and a few more I can't seem to think of.
Links to MP3s are much appreciated, as I never go outside on any day with a 'y' in it. But feel free to say things like 'Where have you been, woman?' so I can answer: 'Hey, give me a break. I would've been there, but I hadn't been born yet.' |

Steely Dan. I can't belive I forgot Steely Dan. I guess that's what I get for only crediting the 80's.

| Of course, Frank Zappa. By any meaningful measure, the greatest rock musician that ever lived. |
