80s music rules man. Queen evolved more as a band, rappers actually had talent, teeny singers actually had talent and people could dance. I love all the female bands like the Bangles. :rock:

I love just about everything from the 80's.
A few of my fave:

The Cure
U2
Depeche Mode
Duran Duran

It seems that there were some cool one hit wonders then as well like Soft Cell and Dexy's Midnight Runners.

'Tainted Love' is one of my favorites. 'Come On, Eileen', though a little unusual (but hey, it's the 80's), is awesome as well.
