I like those two.

And I will add Scorpions who actually started from 1972, but peaked in the 80's

Devo are great. I hope their new album turns out good. But they weren't the best of the 80s, Dead Kennedys were. :P

The Smiths, The Cure, Sonic Youth... those guys are alright I guess... But nothing can compare to Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing. If he hadn't made his own guitar, maybe other people would have stood a chance. His first record came out in 78 though, but I guess they were mostly 80s.

The moment King Crimson released Discipline in the 80's, everything that entire decade was put to shame.
