Best 80's rock bands
Since the "Best unground movies" thread was a success, I thought a "Best 80's Rock bands" thread would prove just as entertaining.
Although the obvious bands will be mentioned, I'll start with a couple of rather "unknown" bands. Songs can also be included. WARNING: If your favorite songs are gay be prepared for some ribbing and funny face icons. 
Two of my favorite 80's bands that are rather unknown.
1: Bullet Boys
2. Mr. Big: "Addicted to that Rush" "How can you do what you do " Had enough" "30 days in the hole "
Name yours !!

Heart absolutely rocks !!! I saw them at the Cumberland County Arena in 1986.
I have their live CD at House of Blues......................
I also saw Night Ranger here twice for free !! Once at a "Chili Fest" and another time at a 4th of July venue on the river.
"When you close your eyes" Jack Blades is one great front man and guitarist.
Here's a great medley of their songs: Turn up the speakers and enjoy

The Alarm did the soundtrack to the movie "Shrek" 2005. Great Band and Mike Peters has some of his own recordings that are great as well.
