Who was the best Group of the Eighties
I have been watching Sounds of the eighties on the red button and i saw Madness and i knew they good but when you listen to them they were a fantastic band and one of the best British bands of all time so i think you have to have Duran Duran Madness and Pet Shop Boys and some of great bands Who do think are the best groups of the eighties

Yeah I agree that Madness are a great band, of the 70s and 80s!
Also Depeche Mode Duran Duran Culture Club Spandau Ballet Frankie Goes To Hollywood I agree with PSB too but would say they're more of a duo than a band. Also Soft Cell Go West Erasure |

The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Cure and Frankie for all the drama. Madness were special too.

Another vote for The Cure. Their sound hasn't dated (not that that is a necessarily bad thing) and I can't think of a Cure song I don't like. They made some truly beautiful tracks.

annoying antics of both bands' lead singers * has sort of put me off both bands' excellent 80s output. I'd also add: Depeche Mode ABC Cabaret Voltaire A Certain Ratio Hothouse Flowers Microdisney Yello * Morrissey or Bono: who's the bigger jerk?

I absolutely loved Duran Duran and Tears for Fears were brilliant too.

No love for the best selling band of the 80s, Dire Straits? ( Best selling UK album anyway)
I would choose U2. And then, Simple Minds (U2 II? ) |

Self Titled Debut - 1980.
Killer - 1981 Number of the Beast - 1982 Peace of Mind - 1983 Powerslave - 1984 Somewhere in Time - 1986 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - 1988 And not forgetting... Live After Death - 1985. That's a hard discography to beat. (Shame it all went tits up in the 90's) |
