Agreed. It's hard to imagine a better album than Doolittle.

Death

The Smiths

R.E.M.

The Cure

What? No love for Corey Hart? :P

The Cure... The Smiths... The Pixies... Megadeth...The Pogues... Joy Division... New Order...Depeche Mode... The Melvins... Sonic Youth... Husker Du... Echo and the Bunnymen.

My favorite 80s rock band was probably the Scorpions.

My favorite 80s metal bands are Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, and Armored Saint.

The Cure. They were untouchable in the 80's

The Smiths make The Cure look silly with awesomeness. Though The Cure aren't terrible, either.clembo1990

If anything, I think Morrisey made himself and The Smiths insecure and silly in comparison with The Cure, what with his constant slandering of The Cure back in the 80's..

tears for fears.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that debarkle. The music is still better, though. They sure could write some brilliantly poetic songs, something The Cure, I never felt, did or at least tried to do. It didn't hurt that the lead guitarist is second only to Lord Jimi himself.clembo1990

You might be overrating them a bit there.Johnny Marr was great, but not to that level... have you never listened to Disintegration or Pornography or Faith?

Woo, the 80s, the best years for music and the worst for fashion. =P I'd say Metallica(before Cliff Burton died and they went terrible), Megadeth(Even though my favorite album by them was from like 1992), Guns N' Roses(Chinese Democracy isn't GNR, Axl doesn't even sound like Axl even though it's sorta understandable after 15 years...D'=) or old-school Pantera, not too sure. Pantera's old stuff is awesome, don't listen to their singer who says they started off in 1990, they actually started in 1981 and had 4 less heavy albums, the first two of which are like Motley Crue and the other two of whom aren't really heavy. =)

The first NIN album came out in 89... I say that counts. :)

Iron Maiden, due to the fact that they're the greatest band ever.
