80's bands! (late 70's counts as well seeing how a lot of rock bands of the 80s started in the late 70's)

ACDC

[Paul_UK]

Beautiful South (more of a 90s band but had their first hits in the late 80s)

[Jerr]

ok anywhere from mid 70's to early early 90s... 80s I guess was just to narrow of a time. lol



Culture Club (Boy George was the lead singer... they ditched him because he was "weird" then they bombed... Lesson? keep the weird ones!)

[Paul_UK]

Duran Duran (my sister loved them, especially Simon LeBon)

[Jerr]

Eurythmics (Is it bad that even though I'm only 18 I have every person mentioned on my computer and I listen to them on a regular basis?)

[Paul_UK]

Not at all Jerr. It means you have a broader taste in music than just current chart stuff, which is good.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

[Jerr]

Genesis (Lead singer and drummer... odd combo but was Phil Collins then he did the solo thing.)


So... looks like me and Mr. Paul have an alphabet game to ourselves... nice... nice.

[Paul_UK]

Human League

I'll only be here for another hour at the most, so I don't think we'll finish it!

Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers :grin: :help: :bang:

[Jerr]

Kajagoogoo (I like saying that....)

New Kids on the Block (naff I know, but it's late).

I'm off to bed now.

[Jerr]

True... lol I get into moods where I wanna listen to him. lol
Oh just thought I would add.... Jon Bon Jovi is aging WONDERFULLY... I know he is in his 50s but the guy is still hot... I hope I age as good as him.

[Paul_UK]

George Michael

[Jerr]

Nirvana? (Dunno, I wasn't even born yet)

We are actually doing 80s artist like single person groups was the last one... but sense no one else is able to come up with any except me and Mr. Paul... lol

[Psych!]

We are actually doing 80s artist like single person groups was the last one... but sense no one else is able to come up with any except me and Mr. Paul... lol

Uh, yeah, i'm one decade too late to play... :dry:

[Jerr]

I was born in 89... lol It doesn't matter when you were born... as long as you didn't die before the 80s you can be into 80s music.


Q is for you, Mr. Paul (I only have Queen for my Q's)

[Paul_UK]

Yes, Queen is the obvious Q. The only other one I can think of is cheating a bit - Status Quo.

Suzi Quatro was late 70s and don't think she was still having hits in the 80s.

[Jerr]

So I was this close to putting REO Speedwagon... because they are awesome... but then I remembered... solo artist... blah!


Rod Stewart

[Paul_UK]

Status Quo

I think the next round will have to be something more recent! :)

[Jerr]

Tina Turner


I guess so.... gotta make it something easy for these sheltered children. *snicker*

[Paul_UK]

Indeed! At least there's one teenager here who knows 80s music! ;)

Ultravox - I'm struggling with an artist for "U" so I cheated with a group! I know I said a group last time too - I forgot it's supposed to be individuals (it's been so long since we started)...... :)

[Jerr]

Van Halen

I know, I'm awesome!

[Paul_UK]

Kim Wilde

That means you get "X". Good luck! :)

[Jerr]

I give up! I don't know!!!! can we just skip these last 3 letters and you come up with another?????

[Paul_UK]

Good idea (I can't think of an X or Z either)!
Hopefully this one will be a bit easier for most people (though not for me):
