Flipper? The Bevis Frond? The Swans? Sonic Youth? Husker Du? The Flamig Lips? The Meat Puppets? Negativland?

Not that I have anything against Peter Gabriel... Heck, I'm rather fond of him.

Excellent! I love their songs too! (Heh, even made a video to one of their songs). Though I think US only had a very limited exposure to their albums.

I'll also add U2, Dire Straits, Deacon Blue and REM. Even if they all sound kinda un-80's-ish. But I love 80's pop stuff too.

Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, and Metallica.

All the 80s were good for was Kung Fu.

I think Heart was an 80's band. And I think Tom Petty was making music in the 80's. Other than that, I can't think of a damn thing.

Can't forget personal computers. Sure they were kind of around in the 70s, but the 80s were like *boom boom boom*.
