Back in the 80's I had a cousin Itt hair do. When I first joined the young Repelicans in college a couple of the Seniors told me my hair style was innapropriate and that I should wear a tie to our monthly meetings. So the next time I went to the meeting I tied my hair into a poneytail and put a clip on bow tie on my t-shirt. They left me alone after that. It helped that I was the smartest one in the group. Which wasn't saying much. Repelicans have always attracted the anal retentive types and lord do they lack imagination.

I had fun though as a YRep in a sick cynical twisted way. The rural area I lived in was solid union democrat. We had some national Repelican party reps show up and they taught us how to use guns, gays and abortion and other wedge issues to convince the mouth breathers (their term) to vote Republican.

I think you probably have a good idea now how well that worked.

You can pretty much get union types to do anything if you put some effort into it (except work)... :cof1:

Dude only 5 of those were from the 80s and two of them are really, really lame (Jovi and Queensryche)
 
Fleetwood Mac from the 60's? Possible, I guess, but they were really popular late 70's. I saw them with the Eagles.

Again. And this changes that there was good music in the 80s how? You asked what rock bands played in the 80s that were still around... I named quite a few.
 
Fleetwood Mac came out with the following albums in the 80s.

Live (1980)
Mirage (1982)
Tango In The Night (1987)

My fave is Tusk which came out 1979...
 
Pink Floyd came out with the following albums in the 80s:

The Final Cut (1983)
A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)
Delicate Sound of Thunder (1988) or was it 89...?

Good stuff.

They even reached into the 90s with:

The Division Bell (1994)

All of them are good.

Pink Floyd is one of the best bands of all time.

Fleetwood Mac were formed in 1967 in London when Peter Green left the British blues band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Green had replaced guitarist Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers, and received critical acclaim for his work on their album A Hard Road. After he had been in the Bluesbreakers for some time, Green asked if drummer Mick Fleetwood could replace Aynsley Dunbar. Green had been in two bands with Fleetwood—"Peter B's Looners" and the subsequent "Shotgun Express" (which featured a young vocalist named Rod Stewart). John Mayall agreed and Fleetwood became a member of the band.

The Bluesbreakers now consisted of Green, Fleetwood, John McVie and Mayall. Mayall gave Green free recording time as a gift, in which Fleetwood, McVie and Green recorded five songs. The fifth song was an instrumental which Green named after the rhythm section, "Fleetwood Mac".

Stevie Nicks is still a good looking gal:

It's not like they are stuck in the time they formed. The idea that a band that spans decades is only a band from one decade. It's silly to suggest it.

Saying there was no good music in the 80s is foolish, and even the worst of it was better than Disco.
