Late 80s/very early 90s was the beeeesssst. Dream pop and shoegaze heyday right there. Lush, Slowdive, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, Ride, Curve, etc. etc. I looove shoegaze/dream pop, so the late 80s/early 90s is awesome for me. Still gotta say I like 90s/00s/10s the most so far, though. 90s was when my two favorite varieties of music - indie and extreme metal - really blossomed.
80's but they were still around in the 90's. I love The Cure they so desereve to be on this list "Just Like Heaven" and "Why Cant I Be You?" are brilliant. Also Blondie they have some pretty cool songs.
i think saying metallica is a fail is ignorant. cause they deffinatly arent. over rated, yes absolutley, but the influence that theyve had on the industry was HUGE
I don't. I do believe they were a tremendous influence in Thrash Metal and harder metal styles and genres but that is it. Metallica is a good band, but they aren't god-like in any way and they get WAY too much attention. Which is a FAIL.
And do not call me ignorant, when I believe there is a great chance of me having a better understanding of music than you... just saying.
Hop off that band wagon and look at some real 80's icons:
Alice Cooper ABBA Aerosmith The Beach Boys Bee Gees Blondie Bob Seger Bon Jovi Boston Talking Heads Tom Petty Twisted Sister Queen Quiet Riot U2 Dead Kennedys Dire Straits Sammy Hagar Santana Skid Row White Snake Def Leppard KISS The Ramones
Wow, that is a combination of 60, 70 and 80's bands. ABBA was big in the 70's, and Beach Boys were 60's, and I noticed you never mentioned Devo, a very popular 80's band.
