80s acts that were big in the 90s
A follow up to the 70's big in the 80s thread. The eighties were uncool for most of the nineties but here are some acts which started or had success in the 80s and did well in the 90s.
Madonna U2 The Stone Roses The Happy Mondays Depeche Mode REM Nirvana Celine Dion Wet Wet Wet Pet Shop Boys Erasure Iron Maiden New Kids on the Block Sarah McLachlan KLF Bryan Adams Texas Pulp Guns n'roses Michael Jackson (again) Kylie Minogue Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Simply Red I'm sure there are more. |

I'd hardly class Nirvana as a 80's band. Yeah they formed in the late 80's and yeah 'Bleach' was released in 1989 (to absolutely no success) - but their sound was one the defining movements of the 90's.
I'll throw in Metallica as a band who cover what the thread is about. |
