I love the 80’s. They are coming back in a big way too, but with a more 21st century style. All the hot pinks, and gloves and leg warmers w/ mini skirts are everywhere in south beach. I like 80’s music too...reminds me of growing up wishing I was like my sister and her friends (her era).

some 80's/early 90's artists

Johnny O
Stevie B
Debbie Gibson
Metallica
Guns N Roses
White Snake
Motley Crue
ACDC
Janet & Michael Jackson (before they turned into freaks)

I think it's much easier for people who grew up in Jr. High and High School to be a little more fond of the 80's. Though there was a lot of music I absolutely despised, there was a great deal of music and artists already mentioned that I still love listening to. Just yesterday I heard Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me", and Tears for Fears, "Everybody wants to rule the world" - and that instantly threw me into nostalgia.

Besides, we owe a great deal of our current dance music to the 80's. Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Dee Lite, Happy Mondays (Oakenfold anyone?), Dead or Alive, oh hell even Madonna, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Maars, Nitzer Ebb, on and on and on......

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Smiths, Morrisey has a great voice that absolutely blew me away the first time I heard him, and Marr was perhaps one of the most unique guitarist of the 80's.

the smith's and morrisey are awesome... but don't listen to them if you are depressed you'll want to kill yourself.
