Worst Band From The 80's?

[bishopx]

If I want to argue with you, then so be it. I'm not debating your opinion, I'm just arguing with you, to argue with you. Worst band from the 80's indeed...the dude who sang "Tarzan Boy" made me want to choke someone.

The Clash do not suck...

 

However, Britny Fox did.

hahaha there's something about naming britny fox in the same sentence as the clash that i can't help but laugh at.

 

i want to add eddie murphy to the list, but i kinda like "party all the time." same goes for WHAM! but "wake me up" and "careless whisper" are far too awesome for me to disregard.

 

also, just because i think u2 were the worst band of the 80s doesn't mean i didn't enjoy their output in the 90s. achtung baby, zooropa and pop are all fantastic albums that are much more artistic and interesting than anything they put out in the 80s (or the 00s, for that matter).

[LonelyWreckage]

Sunday Bloody Sunday pisses all over anyone of their 90s singles, and therefore 80's U2> 90's U2 imo as a non-fan.

 

Worst band of the 80s? Too much to chose from...

 

Actually it seems all the semi-decent groups are being named, maybe we've all forgot about the shite ones?

I've defended a few...but let's face it...The Greg Kihn Band, Milli Vanilli, and Trixter all ate balls.

 

Hula, I thought that was an interesting combo as well.

[Shiri]

The worst ones are obviously the ones we can't remember.

[bishopx]

Which is funny because there were so many...I nominate Whitney Houston...god she made my skin crawl

[borntohula]

captain & tennille, hall & oates, journey, whitesnake, foreigner, loverboy, r.e.o speedwagon, jefferson starship, grace jones, soft cell, menudo, sheena easton

[bishopx]

Jesus, you dug up Menudo??? Yeah that sucked ass...Let's at Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, and The Jets to that.

[HoboFactory]

I'd say Depeche Mode. They sucked then, and they suck now. That's why every cover of their songs ever done is better than the original.

[MissEmily]

I would just like to make a small revision to my previous post: I'm officially removing Bon Jovi from my very long list of '80's bands that suck. They're great live. ;)

[LonelyWreckage]

Good call (originally) on Bon Jovi, fucking woeful band.

 

Oh and that Motley Crue pish.

Europe. Horrid one hit wonders.

 

Saying that, I'd add Tears for Fears overall sucked, although I do like some of their songs.

[LonelyWreckage]

Mad Word, Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout are pretty fucking awesome singles.

Mad Word, Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout are pretty fucking awesome singles.

I love those songs, but that's about the extent of their talent.

[LonelyWreckage]

Can't argue with that.

 

ERASURE !

Here is some old school 80s we all forget (and for good reason):

 

Lita Ford, Boy George, Maxwell, Samantha Fox

[bishopx]

Lita was pretty good actually...

 

Missing Persons...Culture Club...Billy Ocean...Suckfests...one and all

[LonelyWreckage]

Doubt we'll top Erasure tbh.

[Guest Prosis]

Tears for Fears made awesome songs in the 80's but they're sort of outdated now. But Seeds of Love, Elemental and Raoul and The Kings of Spain are awesome man (and they're not 80's pop haha! ;))

 

But the worst band from the 80's...mmm...one of them HAS to be Dead or Alive (you know that fucking "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" shit).

 

Other than that...Duran Duran have been bad and good but mostly bad (did anyone ever hear "Save a prayer"...the guys actually sings out of tune...on a record...)

 

That's all I have for now.

[borntohula]

Elemental and Raoul and The Kings of Spain are awesome man (and they're not 80's pop haha! ;))

you're right, those albums aren't 80s pop, because they were released in the 90s.

 

aside from their singles, tears for fears had nothing going on in the 80s.

 

they aren't the worst band, but they are among the worst bands of the 80s.

[Guest Prosis]

Yes I know they weren't but I wanted to make sure people didn't think they kept making shitty electronic music.

[Audio of Being]

Phil Collins his solo stuff never caught on with me, and therefore I think it sucked.

[Shiri]

I thought I had the perfect one - Vanilla Ice. But turns out he came out in 1990 and ruined everything.

[bishopx]

Johnny Clegg ate cat ass.

[MissEmily]

Oh and that Motley Crue pish.

...who are also playing Bayfest, but I'm avoiding it at all costs. I fucking hate Motley Crue.
