I left off my metal and punk tunes...You’re all too young to know them anyway :P J/K. But bands like Uniform Choice, DayGlo Aborts, GBH, The Uprise, Minor Threat, Big Black, Pagan Babies, (old) Metallica, Anthrax, and Black Flag weren’t all that popular in the “80s Crowd”.

Sorry for such a long post - this one took me back!!!

Dokken - Dream Warriors
what cheese, nice! wasn't that from nightmare on elm street? when i was 5-6th grade, i was a bit of a dokken/lynch mob fan.

Definitely! Nightmare on Elm Street 3, I believe...

i hate that song so much, i just can't get the chorus outta my head. I've actually talked about that song to a few ppl in the past, no one knows it.

very good. i added a bunch more to my list. I couldn't think of his name, it's phil collins. yes! and i found the song i was looking for, its turn me loose by loverboy. thanks for everyone's help.

(She's an) easy lover

Metallica was selling out everywhere since the early 80's...without radio play, but they weren't HUGE yet to the mainstream music fans.

As for 80's punk, I'm all about it...unlike much of what is considered punk today(though there are a few really good bands now).

they weren't HUGE yet to AMERICAN mainstream music fans, but you probably didn't know they were the number 2 band (ticket sales) in the world behind michael jackson for the longest time. same as U2, super huge everywhere besides america and england.

there aren't any. only good punk bands are/were ramones, sex pistols, misfits and nofx.

tell me some punk songs too. i'm looking for a "complete" 80's list of songs.

While I'd admit that there are no punk bands that are good nowadays - it's all pop-punk, though music tastes are relative, and this is just my own personal opinion - there are tons more great punk groups out there...

Here are some of my own preferences as 80's staple punk:

Bad Brains - reggae-punk
Minor Threat
Wire
The Clash - seriously, you can't forget The Clash!!!
DOA
(Charged) GBH
New York Dolls - more proto-punk but great nonetheless
Dead Kennedys - another classic punk band that can't be neglected
Black Flag - before Henry Rolllins sold out
Circle Jerks - singer for Black Flag before Rollins
Dead Boys
DRI
Adolescents
Angry Samoans
Descendants
All
Naked Raygun
The Damned
The Buzzcocks
The Exploited
Social Distortion
Husker Du
Bad Religion
7 Seconds
Operation Ivy - ska-punk...more 90's than 80s
Agnostic Front
Murphy's Law - ska/punk - non-hate-edge skinhead
TSOL
Stiff Little Fingers

I honestly can't say that the Sex Pistols were a "good band", being that most of their albums were re-hashes of the same song set with some other sangs added here - hence "The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle"!! But I did listen to them growing up, so yeah, they'd go on the list, too - and the Misfits, Ramones, and NOFX (they've been around FOREVER!!)

awesome, i don't have any of these on my list. I'm going to add them right away!!

the best place to hear really fun 80's music is at a roller rink. they play all the hotness.

Party All the Time - Eddie Murphy

Boogie In Your Butt - Eddie Murphy
