Most Overrated Bands of the 1980's!

I thought maybe you had converted seein' I saw an "I like Oasis" comment not too long ago.

Just picked up Rust In Peace yesterday after reading the Megadeth thread.

Hahah.

Rust In Peace is an amazing album.

I will play it later or tomorrow, I like to have a couple of Pops when I play metal...not get loaded but just relax a bit and let the music soak in a little more.

Hair band was a term that always confused me too. Most all metal bands had long hair or unnacceptable hair against the norm.

If we're talking make up and glam? More acts besides hard rock bands had this going on in the 80's. See Kajagoogoo

To me it was just an all around pop look in the 80's and imo did not define the music a band played. No different than artist having duck tails and greased back hair in the 50's

I have to agree, hair bands could apply to most Death Black Doom metal bands as well as the 80's groups.

The Smiths - more alternative, indie-pop crap. Never heard a song from them that I liked. Never heard a song from them that made me say "well, at least this one isn't so bad"

Aww.

But nobody writes a song like Moz.

I love the Smiths.

I haven't played their stuff a lot, but I think the Smiths are a good band. Kind of gloomy subject matter as far as their songs go, but one of the better groups from the 80's.
