Anybody into 80s big music?


Big music=big guitars, big drums, anthemic songs, etc. Big Country, XTC, the Alarm, the Call, the Waterboys, Simple Minds, Cactus World News, and of course U2. Any others come mind?

Don't forget big hair. I'd be into that but the trend since has been in the opposite direction. (:^{

In general I like more 80s music now than I did back then.

Also the Geico "Europe/Final Countdown" commercial is pretty funny. ISn't that tune pretty much the pinnacle of what we're talking about here?
I liked the 1970's bands better, but the 80's did have some great artists.

Here is a list that ranks the top Bands and Music from the era.
Can I clarify Big 80's? Is it 80's pop? I guess it's not my bowl of soup, but would never mind spinning following favorite 80's rock and electronica:

The Smiths;
Joy Division;
Violent Femmes;
Dream Syndicate;
Sisters of Mercy;
Skinny Puppy;
Laid Back;
DEPECHE MODE!
Kraftwerk;
Duran Duran;
Japan and David Sylvian also other members too;
Brian Ferry;
LAURIE ANDERSON!
Michael Brook;
Talking Heads(yea some of them actually from late 70's infiltrated to the 80's music);
Same to Brian Eno;
GONG!(with Daevid Allen)
Jean Michelle Jare.
