What Did You Listen To In The 80's?

[rtbuck]

Kmet Police, B52's, & Missing Persons were all great. I lked the Police as soon as I heard "Roxanne" for the First time(I think it was around '79). I rushed out & bought the 45 & although I loved Roxanne, I really enjoyed the flipside which was "Dead End Job". That sounds pretty wild,Pat Benatar with a stand-up drummer but that was one of the few times I got tickets up in the nosebleed section.It was definitely in '81 when I seen her

Overall, the 80's was probably my favorite decade for music. Don't have the time (or energy) to go into my likes and loves of music from the 80's right now, but will in the near future.

Billy Brag
Violent Femmes

early 80's I was still listening to some classic rock bands as their careers were dwindling:

The Cars

ELO
Yes

Rolling Stones


Couldn't stand the metal of the 80's and most pop
