What exactly do you mean? They're a band that was huge in the 80's then broke up. Here's a bit more on them in case you're unaware THE POLICE.

I counted them as a 1970's band...since they released stuff in that decade. They were awesome back in the day.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Every decade had great music...wankers say.."ooh I love 60's music" meaning Gerry and the fuckin pace makers..but to me the 60's means the Doors, Love, Cream, Hendrix, Zeppelin...
Same through the 80's..wankers go "ooh, 80's music, Wham, Duran Duran.." , I say fuck that, the 80's meant..Maiden, Scorpions, AC/DC, Ozzy, Saxon, and then the coming of Metallica..Master of Puppets in 1986 has never been bettered in terms of quality heavy metal.
So, I love the 80's.

They released 2 albums in the 70's however most their more popular album and touring were done in the 80's. I saw them for the first time on their Ghost in the Machine Tour and to me that made them a 80's band in my eyes.
To me it's more on whether that particular band was popular in a particular decade or not. Not necessarly the decade they may have released certain albums or started touring.

you suck jamie.
i loved duran duran in THE 80s. but my fave was The Police. i was totally mad for anything Police related. and U2. so much so that the last U2 album i bought was WAR.

this could be the day

i just need to say

Well fuck you then.
Duran Duran were pussy wankers..I hated their fancy arses. Police was ok, I liked them, and U2 didn't get going until the Joshua Tree.

Nonsense, I beg to differ. They were well on their way in the 80's with performances like this in 1983 at the Us Festival with the song "Electric Co".
The "War" album got them a name then "The Unforgetable Fire" got them on the radio regularly then "Joshua Tree" took them to super stardom. "War" started it all and this performance was in January I believe then they started their "War World Tour" in March which I saw them in Norfolk, Va. the first show.

Blimey, this is like asking, "What tooth would you enjoy having pulled the most?" You could only attempt to answer sincerely if you had no feeling, or were a masochist.
I met the English Beat guys this past summer!
We stayed at the same motel they were at in NJ.
They were very cool.
And they were psyched I knew who they were.
Gene Loves Jezebel were awesome.

I like a lot of '80s music, but no one (I don't think) has mentioned Madonna.
She's not my favorite artist of the '80s, but her work in that decade, IMO, is her best. Borderline, Into the Groove, Live to Tell, Crazy For You, Like a Prayer, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart - I love all those tunes.

I liked def leppard too.
Especially that song Foolin.
I would have killed to have seen them.
They were huge here.
Well....as always, I have to say that I did see them, twice. 1986 Monsters of Rock festival, which was Ricks first gig after the accident, and very emotional. Back then they were still known as this English rock band, who were massive in the USA, but very much a cult band in Britain. Then I saw them as they finally broke the UK market in 1987, even surfed on the crowd..haha..then got yanked down by an over zealous security guard, and really hurt my back!! Memories.....

Who is in there from the original band? Is it just Dave Wakeling, or are there other orignal members too? Ranking Roger isn't in anymore, is he?
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

Well.....I just hope you're a girl, cos if not...you have the musical taste of a raving gay fella.
Saying that, maybe we should have something to indicate our gender on our nicknames.

I wasnt sure if they were an 'eighties band' or whether they were a seventies band that were 'big' in the eighties??
Can anyone clarify??
They were good though!
