AC/DC. Highway to Hell.
Or Queen.

U2 is okay at best, what they could be remembered as is one of the few bands to stand tall even after the 80's were over. Motle Crue was bigger in the 80's than Metallica. The biggest star, and no kidding, of the 80's was Michael Jackson. But Motle Crue was the biggest. Metallica didn't get the most exposure until the black album. And tell your brother that Slayer could destroy Metallica. Peace.

I'd have to say it was Poison. They defined eighties rock, the hair, the groupies, C. C. Deville's gnarly voice...
Metallica is awesome and so is U2, but their greatness extended well beyond the '80s.

METALLICA!
Most of their singles went top ten in billboards.
They still rule in the 90s

Metallica
And if they were never underground, Macabre would rule the music scene.
Carcass indroduced the vocal scratch (growling)

Gotta be Metallica, they really opened the doors on metal and hard rock, period.

Im not incredibly hip to their music but be sure to consider The Smiths.

I can't really think of any new influential 80's bands.
