Best band of the 80's

My favorite bands from the 80's:
The Mission UK
Fields Of The Nephilum
The Cure
Siouxsie And The Banshees
Gang Of Four
Sisters Of Mercy

plus...

I am not *voting* for either of the following just mentioning Bon Jovi and Def Leppard; two, of several, 80's bands that come to mind.

I'm from Jersey, best rock band in the 1980's was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Here's a recap of the band's releases in the 80's:

1. The River
2. Nebraska -- solo effort.
3. Born in the USA
4. Tunnel of Love.

Need I say more.

My second choice is Flock of Seagulls. Just kidding -- how about Tears for Fears?

Seriously, I would put The Police, Til Tuesday and Peter Gabriel on my list, just below the Boss. Honorable mentions to The Cure, Rush, NXS.

Cheers,

Al

I am not sure of any *rules* here, but Bruce started wayyy before the 80's.
