Favourite 80’s bands?

I recently discovered ‘The Travelling Wilburys’! They have some great songs - really good for just playing in the background and chilling out 😎👍

Talk Talk, The Smiths, Devo, Genesis. Some of these groups formed in the 70s but they are 80s bands to me.

Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi and Nirvana! These originated in 80's. Otherwise, lots of rock hits came from the bands that originated in 60's and 70's. Like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Iron-Maiden, Kiss, The Police, Blondie and etc.
Foreigner
Human League
Madonna
Depeche Mode
Genesis
