are we talkin hair bands or rock bands?
best rock band of the 80s hands down, Metallica. I mean c'mon, They also made it through the next two decades putting out great music, which theyare still doing today, But they are also the only modern age rock band to get to the rock hall of fame.
Best hair band of the 80s, Motley crue. Nobody gives the ugly guy from that band any credit, but mick mars could shred.
worst of the 80s.... .... jeezz... where do you begin?...
...after consulting with my wife, we agree that winger would be the worst band that got any kind of notariety. there were some truly lame 80s bands that most people never heard of. But everybody knew who winger was and as far as I know everone thought they sucked.
