Name the faves, guys...

I'll start:

1) Smiths
2) Pixies
3) New Order
4) Cure
5) Sonic Youth
6) Bauhaus
7) Wire

...more to come since I can also barely remember the '80s (don't ask why)

Wasn't Love and Rockets previously Tones on Tails? They were around for about three years I think.

Tears for Fears...another great band from then.

One of the best albums: "Avalon" by Roxy Music.

Hilarious! I'd hate to see what might happen to me if I danced to "A Town Called Malice."

Oh yeah, no one liked English Beat or The Clash?

Okay, the Clash rocks

THe three bands I listened two when I couldn't decide on ANY music even after staring at the CD's for 20 minutes are:

1. Fugazi
2. The Clash
3. Depress, er, Depeche Mode

Holy crap how did I forget the Mode? Now I'll be up all night listening to "old" music.

Thanks, ya bastards.

EDIT -- just stumbled across the Violent Femmes and The Hooters... saw The Hooters live at CW Post in 1987. I'm getting NO sleep tonight. Hope The History Channel's got something good on 'til I get tired.

My high school was hardcore punk.

Sex Pistols, PIL, Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains were the bands of choice.

Movie scouts once raided our drama dept. for X-tras for some movie called "Repo Man." Needed skinheads and the like. "Preppies" need not apply.

So...

If you mentioned Depeche Mode around those guys, you ended up with a super atomic wedgie or something.

So...

Those who knew better became closet Depeche Mode lovers. They were cool though the lead singer was ugly.

Here's some more:

very early Midnight Oil - the Aussies rocked back then. Dyvinyls too (wonder if you guys heard of them). They had the Aussie version of Chrissie Hynde (sp?)

Speaking of which...um...The Pretenders. (nothing is like "Mystery Achievement.")

The Femmes rocked - their first album was pure art even if they didn't know how to play their instruments.

Beastie Boys -- an '80s band w/ more staying power than most of the rest.

Anyone remember Yello (of Oh Yeah/Ferris Bueller fame)? I forgot I've got all their stuff mp3'd. The playlist keeps growing. I'm opening another bottle of Maker's Mark right now.

Pass me 'da Mark, man...

Once I got super sick off Jaegermeister shots and Guiness. I think that was during a Billy Idol concert at The Palace on Vine near Hollywood Blvd. I was as drunk as Billy was stoned...

Ah, the memories.

P.S. Culture Club was unmentionable in my neck of the woods.

I was just about to say Living Color. I saw them at the Palladium (with Fishbone) and at Universal Amphitheater (with Primus).

Saw the Pretenders tour in support of their first album at Golden Hall in Fun Diego. Chrissie rocked.

Police, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads

How about one-hit wonders? Nightranger. Chris DeBurgh, Wang Chung, Faith No More, ...
