80s music
 

I'm on this crazy 80s music kick lately for some reason. Anyone have any good suggestions for bands that I should check out? I've already got Tears for Fears, A Flock of Seagulls, and Simple Minds.

Thats like 1/1000th of what you should have. Expect to get flammed -- Google is better for this than 2+2

Huey Lewis and the News
The Alan Parsons Project

Re: 80s music
 

The Cars, Talking Heads (both started in late 70s but are considered 80s bands I believe)

Re: 80s music
 

Oh yeah, I do have a Cars CD too.

Re: 80s music
 

Yep, flame on with that one.

But to start you off:

New Order
Kraftwerk
Grandmaster Flash

OK, bored now.

Re: 80s music
 

Hall and Oates
Depeche Mode
The Cure
ABC
Night Ranger
basically look up the whole soundtrack from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Can you be more specific as to what you are looking for? Do you want good 80's music, or cheesy corny laughable 80's music?

Sonic Youth
My Bloody Valentine
GNR
U2 (they were actually good in the 80s)
Cheap Trick

Oh, and:
The Police
Journey
Kylie Minogue
Cindy Lauper
Madonna
