What's your favorite 80's music?

[Epicurus]

At least rap still kicks ass.

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Outkast is pretty good.

But that's mostly just because of Andre 3000. That guy is seriously crazy and brilliant. But he's more pop than rap.

 

[Epicurus]

They do both pop and rap pretty easily.

At least rap still licks ass.

fixed that for ya.

just could not pass that one up.
I despise Rap even worse than country.

There was a lotta trashy music in the 80s.

But there was also some great stuff. I suggest everyone listen to what Stevie Ray Vaughan recorded in that decade. Great stuff.

And yeah, rap sucks ass.

Wasn't Devo 80's ?

 

[evince]

Elvis Costello was the only man alive who could make me say "I love Elvis".

Oh shit, I had completely forgotten that The Wall came out in the 80s.

And Damo was obviously a rocker.

 

[Thorn]

Pink Floyd (The Wall came out in 1982), GNR, U2, AC/DC, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Metallica, ....

Well, there's a few of them.

All of those (PF is the best band ever IMHO), plus the Ramones.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

pixies were around in the 80's, but I don't think you can really classify them as an "80's band" or "80's music"

 

[Cypress]

Elvis Costello was the only man alive who could make me say "I love Elvis".

Desh, give it up for Cheese Metal. You know you loved Winger and Poison.

 

[evince]

I never liked metal until recently.

I hated the hairbands.

 

[Cypress]

I was just kidding Desh. The hair bands were ridiculous. Men shouldn't wear spandex...

I was into Iron Maiden and AC/DC. And 80s alt rock. But I could never get into the hair spray or the power ballads of the cheese metal bands. Extremely lame!

 

[Mott the Hoople]

To me the 80's was a barren decade musically. Not much I enjoyed or listened to regularly. The rock&roll degenerated into a wall of noise sound. The soul music not as good as the Temps, OJ's or even Ronnie and the Ronettes (except for Michael). I did like this tune.
