mistakenly put REM and RHCP on. Also RHCP is a 90s band. And for real this time, where in the hell is GNR. I can understand Metallica not being listed, but not GNR.

I guess I liked them in the 80's, but I think they suck now when I listen to their music.

Now I am going to have to sift through about 500 posts from lungers talking about how much U2 sucks and/or is overrated.

they may not be mine or your favorite, but record sales say they are in the running to be on this list.
and are we talking best 80's band NOW or best 80's band in the 80's?
I would rather listen to the Cure now, than Motle Crue, but Motle Crue was bigger in the 80's. The Cure was a niche goth band.

Metallica and the Clash

Best of the 80's.
There were many great groups in the 90's. True rock made comeback. And today it's stronger than ever. Metallica in it's current form is still great. But ####... I still miss The Clash.

Top 10 bands I saw in concert
Apr 29, 2014, 1:15 PM
|
|
I won't take the time to put them in order. Not including bands I did not see live during that period (ex: seeing Styx in 2011 wouldn't count).
Guns N Roses
The Cult
Queensryche
'tallica
Van Halen (w/ Sammy, not Dave - more versatile w/an extra guitar)
Def Leppard (put on a really good show!)
The Ramones
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Drivin'n'Cryin
Jason and The Scorchers

Metallica died when they released the Black album in 1991.
Apr 29, 2014, 1:38 PM

But in the '80s? They were as good as any band on the planet. Kill Em' All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All.
#### yeah.

with the giant "Lady Justice" statue falling apart on stage.
One of the few concerts I ever attended that I was ready for it to end. Their encore lasted over an hour. I was slap worn out from the headbanging.

I'd take The Cult over 5,6, & 8. Probably Prince...
Apr 29, 2014, 1:47 PM

and the Revolution makes that list.
I would probably put INXS on there too. They released a lot of good music in the 80's.
