I was less than 5 years old when the 80s finished, but I used to listen to music my big brother played, and I grew to like a lot of it. I am not sure all of this is "80s" cause I dunno when they came out:
King of wishful thinking
toto -africa
Died in your arms-cutting crew
eddie grant- electric avenue
Abracadabra
alan parsons project-Eye in the sky
Chicago
Guns 'n Roses-November Rain
van helen- brown-eyed girl, and the music he did for Top Gun
as well as alot of songs by U2, Whitesnake, chicago, air supply
Mr. Tom Waits and Mr. Nick Cave and the Mr. Bad seeds
otherwise i really really really hate the 80's
BLAM,
eric
god dammit, yes and i agree with everything ghormak says.... ever
The only 80's music I like is Commodore 64 music! Bleep, baby, bleep!
The 80's rocks, yeah baby!
I could just copy and paste my winamp playlist here, but suffice it to say it's all great! Mostly.
Oh how i love 80's music!! I probably listen to more 80's music than anything else.
Journey (Faithfully is the best song ever)
Hall & Oates
Phil Collins & Genesis (60's, 70's, 80's & 90's)
Howard Jones
Peter Gabriel (solo stuff rules)
Chicago
Toto
REO Speedwagon
Foreigner
Men at Work
there are so many more, but i could probably fill about 20 pages or so. Oh, btw, i like Yanni too.
shawn :)
Hah, by far the BEST thing in 80's are DIRE STRAITS! Mark Knopfler is the guitar king.
The 80s are oldies already?!
the 80's were good?!
80's music gets played on some Classic stations. There's one that's specifically, "Classic tunes from the 60's, 70's & 80's!" Either way.. I wasn't big into the 80's but every once in awhile I hear a tune and just have to smile because of the memories it brings back. As far as stuff I've got in my collection that I still put on now and then:
Depeche Mode
The Cure
Sex Pistols
The Clash (but only moderate tolerance for it :-\)
The Ramones
There are probably a couple others.. I've heard so much insipid crap on the radio recently that I'm tempted to purchase a bunch of stuff from 80-90. [edit: Can't help but notice that most 80's lovers that posted were barely alive during that decade, must be some retro-love thing]
Nothing is as bad as the 00's
Peter Gabriel
Paul Weller (ala The Jam and Style Council)
REM - great in the 80s, still damn good now
Old U2 stuff
George Harrison!!
Icehouse (Great Southern Land!)
Queen
Screaming Jets
The Cure
etc etc etc
Long live the BeeGees!
Well, what's left of them, anyway.
I would just like to point out Alice Cooper's video clip to Poison in helping me get through puberty.
If you've seen the clip, you'll understand. ;D
tons and tons of old school hardcore and punk. i still listen to a lot of that.
Oingo Boingo - Weird Science
Danny Elfman went on to become one the most sought after film composers of present, after working side by side Tim Burton on Pee Wee's Big Adventure, BeetleJuice, Batman, Nightmare Before Christmas, and other things such as Mars Attacks!, the Simpsons, Men In Black, Spiderman etc etc
Starship: We built this city on toilet roll ("Marconi plays the bagpipes... listen to the radio..." )
Bangles Eternal Flame
Housemartens
Beautiful South
Billy Joel before he went bald...
Abba!!!!!
There's a bunch of stuff ingrained in my head from my 3rd and 4th year at uni in the harward bunker at JCMB... (but that's 93-95)
Tori Amos: Cornflake Girl, Under the Pink, etc.
4 Non Blondes: What's Up and Barbarian in the back of my car
Pulp Fiction soundtrack
Dire Straits were an excellent 80s band, a bunch of good songs and Knopfler knew his way around a guitar.
The Clash had released their best albums by the 80s - Give Em Enough Rope, and then London Calling just at the end of 1979 - but they still managed to turn out some excellent stuff in the 80s. The Magnificent Seven, Charlie Don't Surf, Bank Robber, This Is Radio Clash, Rock The Casbah, etc. So they still count as a good 80s band I'd say.
But I'm definitely far more into the 60s and 70s music. Spiritually I think I'm a child of the 60s. Music was way better back then. Even bad 70s music I can enjoy ironically, unlike today's bad music, which either gives me a headache or makes me want to go and cry in a corner.

Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo rule. Elfman's probably one of my favorite film composers. I don't think he's been quite up to snuff in the past couple years, but I won't hold it against him. His scores for The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, and Men in Black are some of my favorites of all time.
BUT have either of you seen Forbidden Zone?
Some of Danny Elfman's finest work
Metallica of the 80s!
Arrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
