    Didn't they make one album only (Welcome to Pleasuredome)
    I cant really recall. I have Pleasure Dome, but my mum (grr) had a few records of theirs, they may have been singles. I adore "Relax" so much, I got into trouble at primary school for singing it! My Catholic teacher wasnt impressed at all!

    What about alternative bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies & Throwing Muses?
    Without these 80's bands, today's music scene would be VERY different.

    80's were great, but IMO the 90's were better.

    God I smurfing hate 80s music. My least favourite decade for music by far. Blegh. I just can't stand any of the new wave, or electronicy, or just bad stuff that it produced. I don't like a lot of the instruments present in many of the bands at the time. Rubs me in all the wrong ways.

    90s and onwards, please.

    Those were about the only good things coming out of the 80s. Overall the music was pretty bad.

    Thank you. I agree completely. There are a few exceptions for me, but usually when I hear 80's music I drown in cheesyness.

    Blondie were American.

    The only good bands from the 80s were The Smiths, The Stone Roses and The Specials.

    Duran Duran and the like were terrible, but to dismiss the 80's because of its cheesy pop music would be foolish (and because by that logic, the 90's would be much, much worse). It wasn't a good decade for rock music, besides a few great bands like The Pixies and REM, but the awesome rap and new wave music made up for it.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
