Poisyn, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, The Cure, Motley Crue, Guns & Roses, Duran Duran, Madonna and Michael Jackson, and anything produced with a synthesizer sums up the 80s for me.
Look at the audience. That’s what I’m looking for.

I saw them perform all three of these songs. In 1978. Queen was my jam, but by the eighties, they’d pretty much gone Hollyweird. Definitely, their best days were behind them.
I agree with The Talking Heads as a contestant for Band that may best exemplify my 80s experience.
Here are a few others…not in a random order.

We drove from Calgary to Vancouver to see them at The Kerrisdale Arena of all places. What a show.
Of course, the incomprable Iggy needs mention.

Strange nobody mentioned U2. Very big in the old country with their albums Boy and War (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) and their subsequent albums. For me they lost it after the Joshua Tree in 1987.
