I'm not sure if I should include Iron Maiden.... they sold millions, had big tours and there was't a single movie where you didn't see some kid with Maiden shirt or Maiden's poster on some teenagers wall.... but I think the radios didn't played their songs so much until you puked.

new wave... oh yes.... kinda weird when punk bands start using synthesizersOriginally posted by FusionFarmer View Post
New Romantic stuff was cool though... I love Duran Duran... Rio is one of the greatest albums ever... the title song is fucking great... John Taylor does some sick jazz/fusion bass wanking durning the whole song
MJ definetly sold the most... I mean Thriller is a fucking benchmark album... look who played on that album... fucking all star team.... MJ of course wrote the songs and sang (amazing writer), Quincy Jones himself produced the whole thing... and then the musicians... Jeff fucking Porcaro played the drums... fucking groove master numero uno durning that time... his bro Steve played the keys.... then they got the sickest funk/slap bass player Louis Johnson.... Steve Lukather did the guitars.... and off course Eddie Van Halen.... the solo on Beat It.Originally posted by Guitardude86 View Post
There's not a single weak moment on that album. Hell, even Miles Davis covered "Human Nature"
Prince's Purple Rain was also a monster hit album.... but I dig his older stuff more though.
That being said VH was the definite 80's bands... they were the biggest influence on the pop culture and the music of the 80's (from pop to metal, from synth-wave-dance to contemporary jazz etc.). The 80's started with VH. Eddie Van Halen invented the 80's music chord progressions.Last edited by Endrik; 06-20-2007, 12:11 PM."There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Considering "Back In Black" sold 21M copies alone (5th most in HISTORY), i'd have to say AC/DC deserves huge props as a big 80's band.Comment

They were just a great fuckin' band.Originally posted by xsentrick View Post
Hard pressed to think of any filler songs on any of their records*.
They were consistently great, and really good live too.
* With the exception of the last piece of trash "Reborn" they put out a year or so ago, god that was horrible...Comment

I think all the really biggies have been mentioned, but, Micheal Jackson, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Guns and Roses probably lead the pack, and BTW Queen goes back to the mid 70sI say the boy ain't right!Comment
