For me, The Smiths top the list followed very closely by Depeche Mode.

Depeche Mode made the 80's what they were, and are still here today creating albums. That right there says a lot. Duran Duran was good as well.... But Hands Down Depeche Mode, they are even better in concert!!!

I've seen a few questions about the 80's lately, is it a nostalgic thing? There was some great music from the 80's and NOT what was on the radio then which is crap in any decade! These are just a few gems that were heavy favorites;
Black Uhuru
Elvis Costello
Graham Parker
Hoodoo Gurus
Hüsker Dü (still a Bob Mould fan)
Johnny Thunders
Midnight Oil
Naked Raygun
Nash The Slash
Steel Pulse
The Alarm
The Blasters (still a Dave Alvin fan)
The Clash
The Feelies
The Gun Club
The Mighty Diamonds
The Pixies (still a Frank Black fan)
The Smithereens
The Suburbs
The Toasters
Translator
UB40
XTC

Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Tears for Fears used to be my favorite - the first two bands I don't listen to anymore, but Tears for Fears music continue to be a favorite of mine until now.
