Yes I was a head banger back before the days when it was cool and before death metal and thrash.
Good heavy rock.
No Flock of Seagulls or Duran Duran for me......:bounce

"Tell him 'We've already got one'"
Waz thinkin Angels myself. Love all the others Sax listed as well.
Aussie bands ruled in the 80's. The Gov't needs to support our record industry a little more instead of these crap TV shows. We have so many great garage bands and very few of them actually get past their first single sold locally.
Bronze.
Bronze.
Rathmines, Lake Macquarie, NSW.
What about "Take on me" by Aha, loved that one at the time.
Also, Crowded House, Billy Idol, Richard Marx, Peter Gabriel, Dead or Alive, plus all the ones you've already noted.
I liked the the poppy ones when I was the younger but them got into the metal later.
Top albums; Van Halen's "5150 and 1984", Michael Jackson "Thriller", Oils "10 to 1", Gunner's "Apetite for Destruction", and that's just to name a few.

Squiz....
Nick Cave is timeless Squiz... Don't forget earlier bands, Birthday Party and Boys Next Door
As for the 80s spring ups Depeche Mode were cool from about the time Dave started using heroin and Martin discovered women....

You got that right Matt!
Yeah Depeche Mode too, Howard Jones, Heaven 17, Yellow, Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Must go through my 80's archives!
Squiz....
I just bought "Turn Of A Friendly Card" on Amazon last night. Alan Parsons Project. Haven't heard it for years since I lost my vinyl copy.
"Tell him 'We've already got one'"
I was born in 1987, so unfortunately i missed out on all the fluro clothing and synthezized pop. But Bad Religion are probably the best thing from the 80s.
