why do people always include Blondie in 80s lists. they did **** all in the 80s they were on hiatus for 8 years of it!

Yeh Blondie had a couple of really good songs but even a best of isnt all that

Oh no, I adore them, their Greatest Hits is awesome, just saying, 80s was not their era.

[rquote=2602858&tid=148058&author=NettoSuperstar!]I forgot the Stranglers and Squeeze too[/rquote]

the stranglesr best stuff for me was inthe 70's and Squeeze are so under rated

The Stranglers are so 80s though, the sound, the lyrics, everything just suit that era more dont yer reckon? Squeeze- Up the Junction was 1979 but its just got the 80s all over it, post hippydippy/punk influence/Thatchers Britain...

XTC (very underated), love that sound too

Pretenders, Talking Heads, Bronksi Beat, Pet Shop Boys, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Tears for Fears, Eurthymics, Frankie goes to Hollywood (not a fan but some tunes ok), Madness, ZZ Top, Ac/DC, Black Sabbath (I know 70's were teir moments but i like their 80's stuff too), Def Leopard, are just a few of my favourites!

Oh yeh Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Madness...the 80s was so cool

frankie goes to hollywood great album

tears for Fears were great ever if they went overblown with the Beatles influence


Ac/Dc are out of this world even though they went **** during the middle 80's
