I am not a child of the 80's, not by a long way. But the answer is unquestionably The Jam.

all great bands.

The question, however, was 'the BEST band of the 80's', not 'name A GOOD band'.

Thus, The Smiths is the CORRECT answer.

Usual deluded crap, no they weren't.

Good but not the best by no mean - in fact rather tiresome at times

 

[The Modfather]

The Jam.

The only band to run them close were The Specials
