I've always been pretty eclectic with music, but when I think of the 80's, I think of musicians/bands like:

 

Twisted Sister, The Eurythmics, The Cure, Billy Idol, Boy George, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crue, etc.

Good timing for this topic after a melancholy day that was caused by listening to some tunes from local 80s bands. Sometimes we don't realize the effect music has on our lives and memories.
