    Fleetwood Mac ; one of my favourite bands of all-time and my nomination

    Ultravox ; Oh... Vienna - did not get all the love for that song during the Best '80s Song Comp, but it's grown on me, and I don't care much for Guns N' Roses

    Rothko
    Registered Users Posts: 12,846 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    The Cure (one of the best bands of the 80's, Fleetwood Mac were far better in the 70's)
    Guns 'N Roses (not big into Ultravox and still listen to GNR from time to time)

    Fleetwood Mac
    They had some really stand-out band members and many excellent songs, whereas The Cure was pretty much a one-hit-wonder, imo...

    The cure. Their songs never grow old.

    GNR love axels voice and they just have more stand out tunes than ultravox imo

    The Cure - I loved the cure back in the 80s and I love them still.
    Guns'N'Roses - no disputing how brilliant they were back then.

    Voting for The Cure; as much as I love Fleetwood Mac, their best hits were in the 70's. Whereas The Cure are quintessentially 80's.

    The Cure I love Fleetwood Mac but just feel The Cure has more of an 80's feel about them.

    Ultravox Vienna......for that alone. Even still on my playlist all these years later.

    The 80s were before my time musically but I'd definitely lean towards guns n roses and the cure.

    Both have songs I still listen to that stand the test of time
