    Are there any good guitar based bands from the 80's that aren't corporate tripe that I might like? And I don't like Guns N' Roses so don't bother with it. The guitars are sweet but that's about it. I don't have any albums from the 80's but I do like Queen. Just don't have any of their albums, only Greatest Hits.

    the b-52's when i am just in a dancing mood
    teh smiths when i want to kill myself mood
    public enemy when i want to kill others mood
    the police went i want to hear underrated lyrics mood
    the talking heads for a very strange mood

    Phil Collins
    10,000 manics
    skid row
