Well, we haven't got one and I really love the 80s music, such a great decade.

Who else agrees?

Love 80s music, especially bands such as Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Duran Duran, The Smiths and The Cure.

I thought you were a DM fan, going by your name, is Violator your fave?

I'm into DM too, and DD and Pet Shop Boys.

So many brilliant 80s acts!

Violator is my fave DM album and yes, Rio is great.

Did you like the most recent DD album 'All You Need Is Now'?

I think it's great, very reminiscent of their 80s stuff, the title track rocks!

Can't believe people are ignoring this thread, the 1980s were/are fabulous!

I thought there were loads of 80s fans on this forum?

I like some of the 80's bands that were previously named such as Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and the Cure. I also really loved Colour by Numbers by Culture Club. But I think 80's music is a big catergory. There are just as many 80's acts that I don't like as the ones I like so I'm not sure if I'm a fan of 80's music in general or just certain bands or singers from that time. There were a lot of synth bands and acts during the 80's that sound really dated now and I cringe looking back on, but there were was also great music during the 80's. I think every decade has its good and bad music.

From my all-time top 10, 2 songs date from the 80s. These are no 9 Adam & the Ants' Stand & Deliver and no 7 the Bangles with Walk Like an Egyptian. Indeed, 1981 and 1986 were probably my fave musical years of the 80s. I shall add to this thread again before long!
