Best band of the 80's

Does anyone remember The Missing Persons?

My nod would go to Fine Young Cannibals.

Talking Heads,

77
Psycho Killer
More Songs about...1978
Take me to the River
Fear of Music...1979
Life During Wartime
Remain in Light...1980
Once in a Life Time
Stop Making Sense...1984...one of the best live albums ever
Naked...1988
Speaking in Tongues...1983
Little Creatures...1985

I have missed a few albums but here is a true contender as band of the 80's...they were initially fresh, unique & quirky. Byrne highly animated, the band precise & rhythmic.

Having had my say I'm going to flip the switch and "find my self a city to live in"

Also often overlooked...Brit band LOOP....

Phasecorrect in my college days I sat on stage with Loop!
I was part of the local road crew-they were so loud it was unbelieveable and they blew the main electrics!
As usual in these threads I see two bands clearly belonging more to the 70's than 80's-Talking Heads and particulary AC/DC.
Of course there is crossover but that means you could throw in The Rolling Stones!
For me probably The Waterboys-circa 1983-88,after that it all went wrong.
REM as well they were superb in the 80's.
