KLF... people I would vote for over Kid Rock include; Gerardo, Jackyl, David Hasselhoff, Carl Lewis, Pumpkin Boy from 90210, John Stamos' little brother...
Righteous Bros...
Cult... though "Jungle Love" and "The Bird" were classic roller skating jams in the 80's... backwards skate...
1. Fleetwood Mac
9. The KLF

4. The Cult (This is actually a pretty clever matchup: two 80s bands that are very fun but also derivative and insubstantial…what can I do but pick the one that moved more product?)
3. Steely Dan
11. Liz Phair
7. Mary J. Blige
2. Blur

#11 Liz Phair - First non-kids album I ever owned was Manilow's greatest hits. I really liked Copacabana. But Phair's first two albums are superb. I'd onsider Manilow in some other matchups
