    It's unbelievable to me how many otherwise good songs during the 80's were ruined by overdone synthesizers. I always thought Journey's Separate Ways had a nice heavy groove to it but those synths make it unlistenable.

    That being said, I think Bruce Springstein saved the decade with Born in the USA.

    Pixies
    Depech Mode
    Joy Division
    Green River
    Mother Love Bone
    Cure
    Queen
    Bauhaus
    Siouxie and the Banshees
    REM
    Smashing Pumpkins (together since 88 I believe)

    David Bowie
    NICK CAVE AND THE MOTHER FUCKING BAD SEEDS

    and plenty more.

    Pink Floyd sucked in the 80s. After Roger Waters quit... "Momentary.." was an okay record but very bland and "Division Bell" was more of the same with different production.

    appetite for destruction. i cant believe its 20 years old. :)

    No doubt-20 years. The definitive album of the 80's for me.

    There was a lot of good music in the 80's but there was an enormous amount of bad music as well and many cheesy videos but hey, it was a fun decade when it came to music.
