    Depeche Mode vs ABBA
    Michael Jackson vs Bon Jovi
    Joy division vs The Travelling Wilburys
    Dire Straits vs The B-52s
    Tears For Fears vs Stevie Wonder
    Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds vs Eurythmics
    Fleetwood Mac vs The Pixies (I'm a fan, but the 80's were not a good decade for Fleetwood Mac)

    Had to abstain on a few votes there as I just couldn't vote for one act or the other, either because I had no interest in either of them or can't stand both of them.......
