Which 80s pop star...

[Strike]

I love 80's music as well. With every era there was good artists and utter twots. I think 80's music is better than music that is out now.

P.S I was born 1986. But I can remember 80's music being played when I was 3 or 4 very well

Wa very few exceptions, 1984-1989 was a bleak time for popular music.

Tony Hadley, truly madly deeply uncharismatic singer with Spandau Ballet

Clearly missed his vocation as a bank manager

Cheers Tom. I pushed Tony Hadley to the back of my mind 'til I read your post!

Adam Ant was 1980's right?

If so, him. Gaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Such utter drivel and yet really popular

 

[Rambo]

Maralyn - 'friend' of Boy George..urghhhhh

Ain't that the truth. 1985 was the year that I finally stopped watching TOTP and buying NME.

Sadly, it was about this time that my beloved reggae started to morph into dancehall and I soon got bored with the constant sexual bragging and homophobia. Then, the same thing happened with rap.

I thought it was just me getting old but I really think that the music was just crap.

Oh and Deano, you're right. How could I forget Gary Numan? Shit music and shit human being.

The debate continues...

I am also going to nominate Prince. A man who looks like a midget smothered in wallpaper paste and dipped into a bucket of pubic hair. I would slap his face for a while, but it looks like too many people have got there ahead of me.

You forgot that he can't spell either...

I've just remembered Huey Lewis and The News, and feel slightly ill.

1984-1989 was a great time for music, but none of it got in the charts...

Jesus and Mary Chain, Husker Du, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, Public Enemy, Spacemen 3, Bogshed- a golden age...

Nick Heyward and Haircut 100 ............ ugh.

Tight Fit ............ please don't ever, ever mention that name again.

Bros .......... triple ugh.

I spent most of the '80's listening to Alan ' fluff ' Freeman on Capital radio. Couldn't stand the chart stuff.
