Name a Band from the '80's

[dudeman]

IRON MAIDEN

 

[angelordevil]

The Original St. Andrews City Brass Band (not to be confused, of course, with the 90's incarnation, The St. Andrews City Brass Band).

After forming in 1879, they really rolled in the 80's!





*I hate saying this, but you can really see how The Arcade Fire ripped these guys off a bit*

WOW!! First visit to the Just a Bang and a Clatter!!!...
Anyhoo, I might be the biggest dork for 80's bands...

I just bought The best of the PRIMITIVES..great band that should have been bigger, I love the 60's style rock mixed with 80's rock style...
They were best know for Crash..but they had a lot of great songs
including Way behind Me and Spacehead among others...I had the "cassette" called Lovely and I so wore it out..I just bought the best of at an excellent price (for being a Sweedish Import $12.99 and it contains 21 fab hits)..They are an English band formed in 1986 lead by Tracy Tracy..If you get a chance hear a clip of their songs on Itunes or Amazon has clips also...

Voice of the Beehive...

Again a great band of teh 80's...I guess I was into obscure great bands (Alternative) but these bands sort of ruled the MTV/Vh1 scene in the 80's ....I have all the videos recorded as proof from early MTV/Vh1

The Lightening Seeds...

The Smithereens....

Another great band!!

The mighty Lemon Drops...


Wow Big time nostalgia!

 

[BonoFox1]

Jesus and Mary Chain....


Like I said I was into the not so obvious..There was only one radio staion that would play all these obsucre Alternative Rock bands, in Los Angeles and that was K-ROQ...When K-ROQ was
cool....

Social Distortion


These are among the bands this Mexican girl listened to, people thought I was strange cause it was maybe expected for me to like The Miami Sound Machine or Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam ect...
