Chat in the pub saturday night which basically had everyone flumoxed,confused and questioning the meaning of life.

Just who were the greatest British band/pop act of the 80`s

The interpretation is entirely up to you,consistent throughout or game changers or JCL`ers who smashed the decade,or simply a band that rocked your world.

There really was something for everyone,the options are endless from so many different styles of music


Rules

6 nominations each.....no more
no one hit single wonders,must have had an album released 80`s
ALL nominations are in.....no seconded required......PLEASE feel free to nominate bands all ready mentioned

quite possible i may have bitten off more than i can chew here but will give it a go anyway

Not as tough as the 60s or 70s imho. Always thought the 80s was a bit patchy, music wise, but anyway......

Pet Shop Boys

Cheers Pasta. Should've sited until my 3rd coffee to post - I forgot The Cure as well (doh!) but see that others have picked them up.

The Three Johns
The Durutti Column

Spacemen 3

Honest Q - did anyone really like Durutti Column for the music rather than the cred' they got from being on Factory and having a cool name? I bought a lot of their stuff but can't even listen to it now...
