Anybody into 80s big music?

My choice here is World Party. Karl Wallinger left The Waterboys in the mid-'80s and went bigger in almost every meaningful way. Mike Scott is IMO the more original and personal songwriter, but Wallinger is just a master re-cycler. He steals (pretty much exclusively) from The Beatles, The Stones, and Dylan and - given his particular gift - that's a surefire recipe for success.

"Goodbye Jumbo" (their best, IMO) was released in 1990, but I'll call these guys an '80s band, anyway.

Have a nice day, Andrew.

Czar,

No doubt.

Whoops, they were 90's.... (:^)

Moody Blues, Yes, April Wine all hit commercial if not creative peaks in the 80's.

Depeche Mode still touring and releases albums so what?
They started in 80's.
None mentioned Talk Talk. They reached their peak in early 90's though.
