Gosh, I agree that there were so many and I liked pop, rock & alternative but my ultimate favorite was Loverboy. I thought I was going to marry all 5. :) DuranDuran was a close second and Tears For Fears actually made their way into the 90's & 2000's and Roland Orzabal is one tremendously talanted chap (not to mention he became quite the hottie in the 90's :)

Glad to see other Depeche Mode fans on here! I started liking them in the 80's and they're still my favorite today. Just saw them 2 nights in a row here in FL in early Sept at sold out shows. They really aren't an 80's band to me anymore as I think their music now is better than what they put out in the 80's. I loved The Cure, Smiths, all that stuff that was used on every John Hughes movie soundtrack. Fun topic!

One of my favorite bands was Fleetwood Mac They were probably more like the late 70's and early 80's. My most all time favorite band of any age is Earth Wind and Fire. They were much better with Maurice White, but I still love them.

I was a Bon Jovi fan! I had a friend who worked at TicketTron (dating myself here) who would take a deposit the day before the tickets went on sale. He would pull the best seats for his "special" customers. I had front row seats at Madison Square Garden 2 nights in a row!!

Who couldn't LOVE 80's Madonna?! Lingerie outside her clothes, singing about touching herself and virginity. Scandalous!
