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?

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.
