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. :D

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 !!

Hank Williams
Patsy Cline
Willie and Waylon
Moe and Joe
Johnny Horton
Johnny Bush
Johnny Rodriguez
Johnny Cash
Gary Stewart

Rock ? 80's ?
 

Rock ? 80's ? :cool:

I just heard on the radio one of the best voices from the early 80's

Gino Vanelli "Livin inside myself "

start the ribbing:p

That is rock where I come from. And it's timeless.:lifter

Growing up on pure country
 

Willie and Waylon is what my father listened to all the time. I guess you could say I grew up with it, but then I some how found myself listening to Lynard Skynard..................Redneck Rock :lifter

Night Ranger
Rush
38 Special
Bad Company
Heart
Van Halen
Aerosmith
Def Leppard
Foreigner
Spys
Tubes

I better stop

Oh yeah !!
 

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

Favorite band from then, and now, is The Alarm. Mike Peters still kicking ass after having cancer.

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.
