My favourite band there is the one who split up first so we didn't have to hear any more of their music. I guess I don't mind 2 or 3 songs from Loverboy and Outfield, but the rest should be stabbed.

[Swazi]

but the rest should be stabbed.

 

Here he goes again !!

 

But I agree to the bands Geoff mentioned. Loverboy and The Outfield are definitely my faves, and I am adding Simply Red. INXS and Mr. Mister had a few good tunes, too.

[Faust]

From that list :

Loverboy / Pat Benatar / Mr Mister

[aMetalhead1966]

Dead Kennedys RULE!!!! Love Em.... Mr Mister are Very Good..

so are Men At Work...Still Prefer METAL though!!!

[Fat Freddy]

I've had a crush on Pat Benatar since I was 11 years old () and I love Kim Wilde's "Kids In America" but the rest of that list... nah.

 

Isn't there a rule against mentioning Men At Work on a hard rock message board? If not, there should be...

[eaglesfan3000]

I like Outfield, Hewy Lewis, and Men At Work...good stuff.

[LV KIX]

Here we go with that "label" thing again.

 

I'm not even sure you can mention Loverboy and Benatar with the likes of Simply Red and Men at Work.

 

I must admit... there are a few on that list that I "could" listen to.... the two mentioned above along with the Outfield & the Knack.

 

Though I hate "labels" with a passion... I consider Flock of Seagulls and bands like them to be more "80's pop" then many on the list above.

 

I know... it's his thread....

[PeterS]

INXS all the way.

 

Difficult to completely ignore the attractions of Pat Benatar and Kim Wilde as well. Some great songs from those two as well.

[Chris]

INXS, Pat Benatar, Outfield, Mr. Mister, Loverboy, and The Knack.

I'd explain by slowly edging my way towards the door.

Hey yeah... The Hooters. I love The Hooters.

Does anybody remember the famous photo of a marquee outside a concert hall when The Hooters opened for Squeeze in the mid-80s, that said "SQUEEZE HOOTERS TONIGHT $14.95?" I betcha that gig sold out quickly.

Mr. Mister - Kyrie is an excellent song.

Other than the fact that they were from the '80s, I would love to know how the Dead Kennedys got on this list ... as I don't understand what they have in common with any of the other bands...

 

Though I gotta admit, a Dead Kennedys/Loverboy/Mr. Mister concert would've been a helluva combo

[SamboraRocks86]

do Duran Duran count as 80s pop rock? i like them...

Yea, they do... and dammit, I hate to admit it but I kinda like some of their stuff. Heard "Ordinary World" on the radio the other day and was like "Wow, this is a great track..."
