80s music was s**t

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Cure released "Three Imaginary Boys" in 1979. So technically not an 80's band. But else I agree with you, psichonaut, the best 3 Cure albums were published in the 80's.

Another serious candidate, though probably none of you knows them:

Shiny Gnomes

Best band ever to come from Nürnberg. Very influential to the German Indie scene in the late 80's.

Human League = 70's! Anything they released in the 80's was Dire ( see what I did there?)

Iron Maiden and Metallica are both absolute s**t.

In no particular order: Band of Holy Joy; Half Man Half Biscuit (even better these days!) And Also the Trees (still great) and Ultravox (with the exception of the last album). :)

Hell, the home of Heino is the ZDF-Hitparade ... :lol: ... I actually preferred Disco ... they showed at least Kiss and Alvin Stardust there ...

while anyway, Beat Club and Musikladen were not allowed on parental TV ... too much skin ... :urff: :lol:

But this is all rather 70ies ... just like
