Re: Here is my greatest Artists of The 80s List

The Rolling Stones #7 of the 80's ???!!!
What have they done good during this decade ?
If I had to make a list of my favorite artists of the 80's, I would place Talk Talk at #1.

Re: Here is my greatest Artists of The 80s List

You remember the Rolling Stones, don't you? They had that big hit with "Too Shy" ... Oh, wait, that was Kajagoogoo, never mind.

Seriously, cool list, but I would replace the Stones, Dylan and Blondie with Minutemen, the Replacements and Husker Du. Also, I'd place R.E.M in the top seven.

No Echo and the Bunnymen, no Talk Talk, no XTC, no The The...

Re: Here is my greatest Artists of The 80s List

No Wang Chung

Re: Here is my greatest Artists of The 80s List

Ahh Shit, my apologies, I guess I forgot The Replacements. Put them at #13. The Rolling Stones did however release "Tattoo You," which was wasn't too bad. I'm not switching them.

Re: Here is my greatest Artists of The 80s List

you should check out Tom Waits

What did Grandmaster Flash have other than "The Message?"
