Hall & Oates ; just missed out on a spot in my 10 nominations, glad to see them here

Phil Collins ; my nom, and I don't care that some of hate him, because you're just wrong

Zaph

Talking Heads - the greatest band ever. And I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!

AC/DC - you can't help but like AC/DC

The Fall - more a measure of how much I hate Hall & Oates than like The Fall

Wipers - never heard of them, but they have to be better than Phil Collins, don't they?

a-ha ; great band

David Bowie ; both solid acts, but gotta go for Bowie here

Ultravox ; we nicknamed one of my friends Ultravox because he lives in Vienna now... that's my only reason for this one

Gru

Bryan Adams - cannot stand Bono.

Aha - because take on me was totally as 80's as you get.

David Bowie - because i prefer him to Duran Duran

Ultravox - because they tend to be underrated imo...

quickbeam

Bryan Adams - don't like U2 and Bryan had some good tunes
Aha
Duran Duran - I like both, but Bowie is more 70s, so judgement call
Ultravox - Vienna is one of the best songs ever.

U2 - I liked their 80s stuff.

Erasure - hate to see A-ha go but at least they went out to a proper 80s group.

Duran Duran - love love love
