80s bands

I know I've blogged about the 80s countless times but I can't stop reminising about this decade. The movies, the TV shows, commercials, music... ahhhhhhh... The music and bands were and still are unique. The band names just roll off your tongue... Mike and the Mechanics, Genesis, Kajagoogoo, Breathe, Boy Meets Girl, Crowded house, Depeche Mode, A-Ha, Tears For Fears, Erasure, Heart, Huey Lewis and The News, Milli Vanilli, R.E.O Speedwagon, Wilson Philips, The Thompson Twins, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Yazoo, The Police, Wham!, Eurythmics, Bad English, Bros, Cheap Trick, Eighth Wonder, The Human League, Jefferson Starship, Johnny Hates Jazz, Living in a box, Modern Talking, Alphaville, Thirty-Eight Special, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Bananarama, Frente...
They don't name bands like they used to.
