Favorite 80s music group

[bmacd]

What's your favorite 80s group? Lately, i've been listening to Air Supply, but before i was listening to a lot of Belinda Carlisle (from the bangles). Whatchu listen to?

-=bmacd=-

 

[Kadarin]

New Order and Depeche Mode, baby...

 

[Jimbo]

The Waitresses.
They are much deeper than just Christmas Rapping and I Know What Boys Like.

EDIT: Belinda Carlisle was from the Go-Gos, not from the Bangles.

I've been downloading tons of 80's music lately.

My favorite right now is: New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

Who, along with The Pet Shop Boys, form the triad of '80s homosexuality as expressed in the popular music of the time.

 

[LoqT]

Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, and The Cure

 

[CyNics]

Metallica

wow, lots of good choices from you guys.

[new order, depeche mode, pet shop boys, go-gos, bangles, erasure, duran duran]

believe it or not, I just got Release by Pet Shop boys, Loveboat by Erasure, and New Order's latest.

Duran Duran's latest is not up to par.

New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, China Crisis, Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, ABC (Brian Ferry), Men at Work and lots of other groups with one or two hits.

Haven't heard it yet. However, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone" are both highly excellent, in my opinion...

 

[mk]

Metallica, Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Van Halen, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Genesis ...

 

[Shelly21]

yes, I believe their latest is called "pop trash". It is really bad while the Ordinary World album is excellent.

Did Depeche Mode came out with anything new recently?

Brian Ferry was the front-man for Roxy Music, not ABC. I forgot about China Crisis ("Fire and Steel") How about Icicle Works, Men Without Hats, Love and Rockets, Peter Murphy (ok, and Bauhaus, while we're at it, but that's really late '70s), Big Audio Dynamite, Howard Jones, OMD, and the Psychedelic Furs?

 

[Doggiedog]

Crap you're right about Roxy Music! It's been a while.

I also forgot about those groups you mentioned too. How could I forget OMD? They were one of my most favorite groups!

How about King, B-Movie, Caberet Voltaire, Vitamin Z, Kon Kan?

And for more mainstream (I guess they can be considered 70's as well), The Police and Journey.

Scoob Master pretty much summed it up for me. Everyone who listed Air Supply, tears for fears, duran duran, etc. -stay the hell away from me.
