My favorite songs by bands from stated time period :
any song by U2, Bon Jovi, The Beatles, and men without hats; "Another one bites the dust"; "Viva la vida"; "Hotel California";
"We're not gonna take it"; "Carry on wayward son"; "Drops of jupiter" (sang that to my GF once);
"Mexican Radio" (the one by Wall of voodoo, it's so delightfully wierd! No Idea why I like it though )";
And so many more songs, lololololololololololololololololol

Overall, my favorite 80's-90's artist is The Cure.

Culture Club

Early Black Sabbath (the "Ozzy years), Def Leppard, Poison. Of course, this doesn't even scratch the surface.

Agreed

CULTURE CLUB AND THE EAGLES!!

Marshal Tucker Band, Steve Miller, Warren Zevon

Ok here I go. Alice cooper, baach, betoven, phillip j susa

Steve miller is good,
But, hamers, really, bach, beethoven, ( though I guess those are valid ), but why? No, don't answer that, I don't wanna know.

It'll probably have something to do with your sitcom

You said and earleir so they are. You never put a lower limit.

I knew it would have something to do with that dang sitcom

where did you get the idea it has something to do with the sitcom and how??

Shhh..............................
You'll wake up Cerberus, he doesn't like being awakened from his naps.

My choices had nothing to do with the sitcom. What made you think they did??

Ah, were your parents into the New Wave scene?

Hamers, leave my right to completely ignore the existence of the phrase " make sense" alone, or I'll sentence you to 1,000 yrs of nyan cat and, justin Bieber.

let me see

beastie boyz, nirvana, the ppl who did insane in the membrane, Soundgarden like I said earlier, NIN, 80s and early 90s U2, early Pearl jam, 90s SOAD, talking heads, led zeppelin, sabbath w/ozzie, queen w/freddie, heeeeee (takes a breath), the cure, cptn beefheart (sorry calvin), bob marley, duran duran and not to forget my 80s/90s british bangra DCS, Holle Holle, intermix, early sahotas and one of the first bands to mix samplers with guitars, the new pardesi music machine!!!

oh and I cant stand pop from after like 86 or from the time they started mixing rap with songs (the worst thing ever to happen to rap IMO)

My dad's stepfather was so much of a hippie ( as my mom phrased it) that at his funeral, they played "wild horses" (just because I believe that if I'm not mistaken, there's another song of the same name, it was the old one that went "wild horses couldn't drag me away")

Na not really I was in my teens then and dad was starting to dig his old vinyls from the 70s to rest his ears !

Here, I think I should give a complete list of what all I listen to, in no specific order (but The Cure is my favorite):

The Cure (especially the "Disintegration" album)
Blink 182
Oasis
The Smashing Pumpkins
The Wallflowers
Nine Inch Nails
Rammstein
Weezer
The Pixies
Pearl Jam
The Psychedelic Furs
Siouxsie & The Banshees
Depeche Mode
Audioslave
Generation X/Billy Idol
Bloodhound Gang
Blue Oyster Cult
The Clash
Electric Light Orchestra
Faith No More
Flock of Seagulls
Judas Priest
Operatic
The Police
Rolling Stones
When in Rome

And a LOT more. This is only 1/10th of my music library, hahahah. I listen to everything from the 1950's to about 2005.

I must say, a lot of people here have good taste (especially those Cure fans )

Slenderman, I must say that ELO is one of my all time favorites! To me, no one does Roll Over Bethovan (spelling?) as good! And Judas Priest & Rammstien I like as well.
How about "Spin Doctors"?

Of course I love Spin Doctors, hahahah! I listen to nearly everything listed in this thread.
