Thriller still has to be considered the greatest album ever.

Ahhhh... Whitesnake. First

Ahhhh... Whitesnake. First CD I ever bought. Brings back fond memories. Cinderella was right in there too.

I was and still am a big

I was and still am a big Wham! fan.

And then of course there's Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Culture Club, early Madonna and Prince, Duran Duran...OH! and Pat Benatar! I was just listening to her yesterday. Hit after hit after deliciously 80s hit.

Morrisey and the inimitable

Morrisey and the inimitable Johnny Marr (now playing guitar with Modest Mouse)

1997 - Return to Paradise (Live w/ 4 new tunes)
1990 - Edge of the Century

1981 - Kilroy was here (which was the end of their heyday run)
1973 - 1981 - Millions of Albums sold
1972 - 1st album

I vote for Styx to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. "The greatest American rock band ever" - Adam Sandler

I like the mention of

I like the mention of Journey. It seems that "Don't Stop Believin'" is still getting a lot of love but I have to throw in The Smiths who feature two guys till making music today. Care to name them?

How

How about:
Whitesnake
Cinderella
Winger
Mr. Big
Warrant
Scorpions
Stryper
Oh, man.

I have both of those on

Ruth Anne Maddox — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:12:38 -0500

I have both of those on cassette -- but no cassette player in my car!

Wham! "Wake me up, before ya

Joanna Miller — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:49:40 -0500

Wham! "Wake me up, before ya go go!..." or, how about a collaboration of '80s artists with "We are the World". That was classic.

I don't see REO Speedwagon

Ruth Anne Maddox — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 11:58:06 -0500

I don't see REO Speedwagon on your list?!

Journey Mike & The

Savage Guy — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:17:24 -0500

Journey
Mike & The Mechanics
Beatles (I know, they wrote and recorded their songs prior to the 80's but their music is timeless)
Duran Duran
Howard Jones
AC/DC
Ozzy Ozbourne
Cheap Trick
Boston (more 70's but again timeless)
Steve Winwood
Hall & Oates
Styx
Queen

Hands down, Journey. I love

Keighla Schmidt — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:31:28 -0500

Hands down, Journey. I love each and every single one of their songs and I am irritated they've been eligible for hall of fame induction for eight years and still have not been.
My tip to them would be "don't stop, believin'!"
