My favorite band of the 80's was U2. I can't believe nobody has put them down yet. To me U2 may have begun the end of the "Classic" Rock era.
Here are some more
Def Leppard , Van Halen , REM, The Cars, 38 Special, ZZ Top, Guns & Roses, Traveling Wilbury's, The Go-Go's, oh and my two favorite MTV bands Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister.
