Answer 2

If you're wanting hard rock and/or metal from that era, I'd suggest:

Ratt - pretty much everything from Ratt is great 80s rock, but *especially* recommended is anything from Out of The Cellar or Invasion of Your Privacy.

Y&T - Summertime Girls

Billy Idol - White Wedding, Rebel Yell

Van Halen - Panama, Hot for Teacher, Jump

Aerosmith - Dude Looks Like a Lady, Ragdoll

Guns and Roses - Anything off of Appetite for Destruction would be good.

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers, Knocking at your back door

Def Leppard - Photograph, Foolin', a few other tracks off of Hysteria.

****

If you're wanting 80's rock with more of an "alternative" flavor, you can't go wrong with these:

Robert Plant - Big Log, Tall Cool One

Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party, Weird Science, Only a Lad

The Cars - The Heartbeat City album

World Party - Ship of Fools

R.E.M. - You Can't Get There From Here, Driver 8.

Rush - Distant Early Warning and Subdivisions

Til Tuesday - Voices Carry

****

If you want the poppier side of 80's rock, you could go with some of these guys:

Huey Lewis and the News

Genesis/Phil Collins

Bon Jovi

Bruce Springsteen - esp. The Born in the USA album

John Cougar Mellencamp - Jack and Diane, Little Pink Houses, Paper in Fire, Scarecrow, etc.


Happy music hunting!
