My absolute FAVORITE generation of music. Duran Duran, Madonna, Huey Lewis and the News, Prince, Springsteen, The Police, and the all-time Thriller, Michael Jackson.
I love 'em all.

Since this is such a broad topic, I'll try to narrow it down a bit.

Who was your favorite band/artist?

Also, I think the 80's have to hold the record for "1-hit wonders".
What was your favorite "flash in the pan" song or group.

My favorite artist - Prince

Favorite one-hit wonder songs:
1) "I'll Stop the World and Melt with You" - Modern English
2) "Whip It" - Devo
3) "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - Bonnie Tyler


And the one song I HATE more than any other:
"Tempted" - Squeeze

Oh my God! I've just read the rest of your post. Bonny Tyler was not a one hit wonder (although she may well have been so in the US), I was Lost in France!

I just hope that Lanesra doesn't find this thread. He loves Squeeze!

Didn't Bonnie Tyler do the song "It's a Heartache", too?
