Whos your favorite band from the 80's

[Caveman35]

My favorite 80's band would be Def Leppard:cool:

[Desensitized]

Fishbone, The Suburbs, The Descendents, and The Stray Cats were my favorites. I hope some of their stuff makes it into Rock Band.

[Axlitis]

Guns N' Roses, The Smiths, and Skid Row.

[Rev0lver]

Mi Fav0r1t3 80s Bnd Is F4ll 0u7 Bo1

[99Knives]

mine is W.A.S.P.

[WingsOfSteel]

Journey, if we're talking about bands that were biggest in the 80s.

If we're talking about any band in the 80s, Boston had some good songs, even if they were biggest in the 70s

[Rev0lver]

nine inch nails, because they started in the 80's. i dont care if they weren't a big 80's band. im still counting it.

[MetalHead20]

My 3 favorite 80s bands have to be Ratt, WASP, and Manowar.

P.S. I couldn't pick

[Kungfutzu]

I know it sounds lame, but the best band of the 80's was Tears for Fears.


Trust me. I'm not happy about it either.

[Kutsic]

Metallica

*types more because it won't let me just say Metallica*

[MrGrieves]

The Smiths and The Pixies

[battle_axe_of_doom]

metallica
<JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ>

[battle_axe_of_doom]

that above post was to spite kutsic and show off my less than 10 characters skillz

if we're talking about bands that FORMED in the 80s then it goes : testament, metallica, and idk megadeth??

[caex12]

Easily, it would have to be the legendary Bathory.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

holy **** how the **** did i forget bathory. ugh totally disappointed in myself

replace megadeth with bathory :D

[Shredder]

Definitely Iron Maiden.

[Kutsic]

I forgot Iron Maiden, Testament, and Bathory!? WTF!

And Slayer...and Mayhem...and Celtic Frost...and Morbid Angel...and Darkthrone...and Arcturus...and..Ok, forget I ever said Metallica. Change that to Death.

[coheedfails]

the cure ;)

[theTolly]

I hated 80's music growing up.
Run DMC?
Blake Babies?

[clearGHOST]

I'd have to say Metallica and Iron Maiden, I'm not a huge fan of the 80's at all...

[IronMan]

Judas Priest!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SirAnonymous]

Favourite band around in the 80's would have to be Pink Floyd, but my favourite band started in the 80's has to be Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble.

[Demonsmind]

hmmm, Metallica, Scorpions, Pink floyd

[battle_axe_of_doom]

seriously 80s floyd??

[KillerIsMe]

Bathory, Celtic Frost, Morbid Angel...

... and Faith No More.

[Transbrak]

nine inch nails, because they started in the 80's. i dont care if they weren't a big 80's band. im still counting it.


good point sir, well then i'll go with NIN and metallica

[guitaristbmh]

Ozzy Osbourne, all the 80's stuff rocked.

Ronnie James Dio, solo career and black sabbath work all rocked.

[Mournblade77]

Mr Bungle, Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Touble

[MundaneSoul]

I know it sounds lame, but the best band of the 80's was Tears for Fears.


Trust me. I'm not happy about it either.

Nothing to be unhappy about, TfF were a cool band.

My vote would go to Megadeth/Iron Maiden. I have a soft spot in my heart for old school metal.

[MundaneSoul]

Bathory, Celtic Frost, Morbid Angel...

... and Faith No More.

Faith No More, great choice! Patton is nuts, man.

[darkhorse09]

It's not lame, it's a proven fact.

[Mournblade77]

Faith No More, great choice! Patton is nuts, man.
Yeah, too bad it was Chuck Mosley singing on thier first two albums. Though I do have version of As The Worm Turns with Patton on vocals and it (of course) rocks!

[RageForOrder]

My favorite band from the 80's is Queensryche, but Iron Maiden is a close second.

[JukeBoxHero]

Helloween, I think formed in the 80s.

[King_Nuthin]

X, the Stray Cats and the Dead Kennedys along with Maiden and Anthrax on the metal side.

I realize that most of those bands actually formed in the 70s but I am focusing on their 80s body of work. If you go with the US release for London Calling I'd have to put the Clash on this list as well.

[Spandrel]

The Smiths

[Glamhead]

haha this is my nack of the woods :-)

favs are motley crue, poison, ratt, warrant, qiet riot, dokken, white lion, whitesnake, bon jovi, skid row, def leppard, ac/dc, metallica, ozzy, manowar, wasp, y&t, black n blue, tnt, kix, VAN HALEN just to name a few haha

[ziggy stardust]

The Smiths

[amolinam]

Dio or Metallica

[lexiconfrasier]

T.S.O.L., Black Flag, Misfits (before Danzig left) just the first three that come to mind. so hard to choose.

[drummerboymiked]

my fav 80s band would be quiet riot

[FrshChees]

MetallicA \m/ O_o \m/
AC/DC
Ozzy

yea...some more stuff, too.

[Childs Play]

Def Leppard :)

[abasketfullofpuppies]

Anthrax. Madhouse on GH2 was the most underrated song on the list.

[theSurfbum1]

#1the ramones,led zeppelin, the cure, acdc, blue oyster cult, the misfits, the stooges,rush, thats all i can think of at the moment
and here is 3 old bands that still make new cds
pearl jam, red hot chili peppers, smashing pumpkins

[darien87]

If we're talking ANY kind of band, I'd say Duran Duran, Missing Persons and The Cure.

If we're talking rock, I'll say Ratt, Journey, Quiet Riot and Def Leppard. Cinderella had a few good songs too.

[DesiredFX]

Adam Ant, baby.
