I didn't know The Jam was around in the 70's... I remember them, but more so remember The Style Council -- I liked them a lot too...

I have way too many bands to list from the 80's I liked... was a total 80's kid... I used to order "Smash Hits" from England in an attempt to keep up with some bands that were not as popular in the US

The Smiths are one of those bands you either hate or love - there's no middle ground with them. They're one of my favourite bands - the lyrics are pure gold.

Town Called Malice - in Britain, the early 80s were grim. When you place the music in the political context of events in that day (mass unemployment, the old industrial towns on their knees, riots in various parts of the country, regular strikes etc) it gives it an extra dimension.

                  and my LP records and they're all scratched
                  You'll be sorry when I'm dead
                  and all this guilt will be on your head!" .... bet I will have this song on my mind for the rest of the night now

Just about all the 80s stars ended up with their heads up their own arses apart from Robert Smith of the Cure and Paul Weller and even he did for a time. It seemed to me to be a time of the Narcissists (accepting that popstars of any era are prone to narcissum). Morrisey has yet to take his head out of his arse, as has Bono.

Though probably the most significant music event of the 80s was MTV though I could never bring myself to watch endless mediocre videos in hope of seeing one I likes. Maybe it was the video that made so many pop stars so narcissistic.

Yes, I heard they were touring... The Police was the very first band I ever saw in concert in 1993 when I was 12 years old... The Fixx and A Flock of Seaguls (aweful live) opened for them.

I was such a "Duranie" -- I saw Duran Duran so many times, I lost count, including seeing them in Hamburg, Germany in 1988!

I loved/still love The Smiths, The Cure, Souixie and the Banchees, Depeche Mode, Yaz(oo), Erasure, Joy Division, New Order, Ultravox (one of my favorites, talk about great lyrics!)... the list could go on... what a very nice walk down memory lane  

Thank you too NG for the background infor on "A Town Called Malice" I like kowing the back-stories of songs.
