This isn't true at all. They had quite a few good and respected albums in the 80s (Murmur, Reckoning).

I think it's borderline for each decade. They're a mix.

[MicroBob]

REM's best stuff is clearly and obviously ALL from the 1980's.

I saw them in concert in 1988 and they were reasonably big at that time (ever heard of Document?).


All of their 1990's stuff is pretty lousy imo.

[MicroBob]

Synchornicity was 1982 I believe....but I prefer their earlier stuff which was 77 and 78.
I guess I don't have too much of a problem listing them as an 80's band as this was when they peaked popularity-wise.


The Clash
The Police
U2
early Psychedelic Furs
The Cure
The Cult



I freaking hated both New Order and Depeche Mode but obviously their faithful would tend to vote for them.

[Benal]

Wow, no GNR mention. Appetite was in '87

This is a big overstatement. Arguably their two biggest albums are both from the 90s (Out of Time and Automatic for the People).

[MicroBob]

Their biggest does not mean their best.

I just never liked their 1990's stuff.

[Dominic]

I nominate THE CARS!

[Dan Rutter]

Guns n Roses

[Max Raker]

The Meat Puppets
(Also if we where doing a tourney for coolest name, I think they would be on that too)

[Soviet Exile]

Big Black

[Rotating Rabbit]

new order

[TimTimSalabim]

Rush
Marillion
Concrete Blonde
Violent Femmes
Smiths
Bangles
Til Tuesday

..probably some others I can't think of right now.

[thatpfunk]

Every band Kilgore named. He is on point /images/graemlins/smile.gif
