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.

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

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.
