Anybody into 80s big music?

I'm born in the 70's so 80's music is a big part of my childhood. I also like 70's from my parents playlist. I guess those who don't like 80's are older generations. Just like how we feel about most of this era' music is garbage.

To many to list but here are some of my favorite.
Depeche Mode
New Order
Duran Duran
Tears for Fears
Pet Shop Boys
OMD
Spandau Ballet
Fra Lippo Lippi
China Crisis
Psychelic Furs

Berlin
Echo and the Bunnymen
Flesh for Lulu

Modern English
Reo Speedwagon
Blondie
Kenny Loggins
The Police
Toto
Air Supply

James Ingram
Lionel Ritchie
Randy Crawford
Sade
Barry Manilow

Happy listening peeps =)

If you want an amazing eighties album with superb production I can't recommend Shriekback's Big Night Music highly enough, especially the b-side. In fact mainly the b-side. I love that album and also use it as a test record when I get new tubes/equipment. They don't sound like their name would suggest, it's beautiful atmospheric but still thumping music. Miles better than Dead Can Dance, a band who's music I find pretentious. Check out “The Underwaterboys" online for a taste.

S1nn3r-Your list helps prove The Call is consistently overlooked!

Dayglow,

Sorry. The Call isn't my cup of tea. I have more to list like Dire Straits, Journey, Hall & Oats, Human League, Chaka Khan, Wham, Nena.......it's just too many to put it all in.

80's music + beer + chicken wings + audio nerd friends = perfect weekend :^)

The Call had two massive singles with "I still believe" and "walls come down." They got it right twice, which is more than most. They just didn't have a definite, career begining Lp IMHO. Reconcile came close.
