    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?

    Bryan Adams ; his songs are better than Bono's songs... Simples!

    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

    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...

    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.

    Duran Duran - love love love

    U2 - They were at their best during this decade and I don't like Bryan Adams

    David Bowie - I prefer 70's Bowie but his 80's output is still better than Duran Duran
    Siouxsie And The Banshees - Haven't listened to much of Ultravox but I like Siouxsie
