Yeah, the 80's were FULL of great American bands (my favorites being Blondie, the 2's, and Devo)

The vast majority of hair bands that dominated the late 80s music scene came from Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Madonna is from Michigan. Michael Jackson is from Indiana. They are probably the two biggest pop artists from the 1980s, also.
