Re: What Are Your 80s Favorites?
Pretty much. I've recently started a serious investigation of their catalogue. (I only had three albums before.) No real strong opinions yet, though.
Those are three of my top favorite artists right there, but they all started in the 70s, so I didn't know if they'd qualify.
Music Wench said:U2, what can I say? The music speaks for itself really. They recently put out How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, probably one of their best efforts ever and are still going strong. I don't care what you think of Bono, U2 has made their mark and will go down as one of the all-time greats.

Other faves include Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Talking Heads (yes, they got started in the 70s but their best album Remain In Light came out in 1980 and they remained active until the second half of the decade so....)
