YankeeDudel 05.05.12	80s music did suck for the most part. It was the start of MTV so popular music was playing towards that, which dawned the whole post punk/hair metal/synthpop stuff that sounds so out of date now. Metal, Hardcore/Punk, and the beginnings of Alternative were cool though. The 90s were much better in its variety to me, but Im biased too.
livingisland 05.05.12	Ehh I dunno, alternative stuff from the 80s is still better than all that hair metal/stadium rock/new wave shit, but I can't get into most of it. I think what turns me off the most is the way it sounds. 80s production is awful.
stabbler 05.05.12	three words.....butthole surfers rool
OneMoreRoland 05.05.12	Yeah, you're right. The 80's sucked.
YankeeDudel 05.05.12	For 80s rock some U2, Pixies, Primus, Janes Addiction, Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Faith No More, Butthole Surfers, The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Melvins, Spacemen 3, Dinosaur Jr, Big Black, Meat Puppets, etc. Then you got thrash like The Big 4 & Co. and heavy metal like Maiden, Priest, Dio, Scorpions.. The beginnings of Death metal and Grind. Then hardcore/punk like Minutemen, Fugazi, Husker Du, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Descendents, Bad Religion, Misfits, Minor Threat, etc. Theres alot of good 80s stuff. The variety isnt that great but its there.
stabbler 05.05.12	^ this is a reasonable assessment (other than 80s scorpions) add the beginnings of prog metal through bands such as fates warning, queensryche and voivod, plus more tech stff such as athiest etc etc and suddenly there's plenty to keep you busy
YankeeDudel 05.05.12	Also Hip Hop was getting its feet wet too. If you like Beastie Boys (REST IN FUCKIN PEACE MCA) then De La Soul, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, KRS One, NWA, Kool G Rap, etc. Obviously Hip Hop really started to take off in the early 90s its still cool to hear the 80s stuff. The 80s were def weird though. It seems like alot of genres/subgenres were just getting started that didnt really solidify themselves until later on.
FreddyPeters 05.05.12	3 is so good and to answer your question, try The Cure

livingisland 05.05.12	80s being old has nothing to do with it. Most of my favorite music is from the 60s and 70s.
stabbler 05.06.12	a lot of 80s stuff is dated tho
