Best band of the 80's

I'm from Jersey, best rock band in the 1980's was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Here's a recap of the band's releases in the 80's:

1. The River
2. Nebraska -- solo effort.
3. Born in the USA
4. Tunnel of Love.

Need I say more.

My second choice is Flock of Seagulls. Just kidding -- how about Tears for Fears?

Seriously, I would put The Police, Til Tuesday and Peter Gabriel on my list, just below the Boss. Honorable mentions to The Cure, Rush, NXS.

Cheers,

Al

I am not sure of any *rules* here, but Bruce started wayyy before the 80's.

The Replacements

Hey Y'all,

My votes are in this order:

1. U2 and The Police, a tie.
2. Van Halen
3. INXS

I know, Van Halen actually broke in '78-'79 but everything else they did, that was worth while, was done in the eighties.......John

Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman and the band were incredible Live. It's One of the bands that got me thru the 80's !
