‘80s Music Any New Suggestions?

[Gnevans]

Does anyone have any 80’s music recommendations that I may have missed?

I’ll suggest Colourbox as an 80’s band to check out if you have never heard of them.

[Ptolemy]

New Order - they made their best music during the 1980s.

IMO

The The, Talk Talk, Mr Mister....
...The Waterboys, The Pixies, Husker Du.
