I just love the 80's and of course their music. The Rock'n'Roll was incredible during that era. Anyway, of course it's a shocker now that I'm mentioning BON JOVI!!! Hehehehe... But if I have to name other artists, I'll say Whitesnake, Scorpions, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Poison, Van Halen, Skid Row, Cinderella, Twisted Sister, etc...!!!

Those are some really good bands, I wonder what happened to the Scorpions, they were really good.

Mine will always be either Journey or Eagles. These 2 continue to be my favorites even yet today.

I also have a hard time narrowing it down to just one, but ultimately I think it has to be Violent Femmes.

Favorite would have to be Poison! But I agree with some of the others that there's waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many to list! "unskinny bop, nothing more to say!"

I haven't heard their music in a very long time, 80s had some of the best tunes but the best band was in the 70s, CCR.

One day I'm looking up all the bands to see how many there were. No one mentioned Genisis, they were going really strong in the 1980s.
