But INXS and U2 are cool. 
For the most part I didn't like the mainstream Rock that was very corporate and FM radio-friendly. You know, like: Journey Styx REO Speedwagon Billy Squier Jefferson Starship Night Ranger Foreigner Toto Don Henley Boston .....man, they sucked. 
Thank God for New Wave!!!!!  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

NUMBER ONE CHOICE GOES TO WHITNEY HOUSTON.
Others I don't like are: Freddie Jackson Anita Baker Regina Belle Melissa Morgan Mikki Howard Levert Keith Sweat Johnny Kemp There are others I don't like but I can't think of them right now. Since I don't like them I can't pull any of their records to refer to because I don't own them. To finish covering the spectrum though: Any of the balladeers that came out in the late 1980s. Any of the midtempo rap artists that came out in the late 1980s. That pretty much covers it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I love mascara on a man. That's what I loved about the 1980s the best was the outrageousness and androgony. You notice my list of people I don't like are all pretty tame and "normal" looking as well as sounding. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Baby, "Broken Wings" was my sh*t. They get props for that alone. 80s people I can't stand though: Poison and all that hair metal sh*t REO Speedwagon etc. | |

I notice some people have Boston on their list, although I agree, they only released one album in the '80s.
In some cases there are certain songs that I like as so-called "guilty pleasures" from some of these artists, but when that's the case I don't like it well enough to spend my money on it. And I'm sure I'm forgetting 5,000 more performers who I've subconsciously repressed from memory. Survivor Sting The Hooters Toto Madonna Dexy's Midnight Runners Quarterflash Journey Stacey Q. Cheap Trick Rush REO Speedwagon Air Supply Rick Astley Tone Loc Michael Bolton John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band Milli Vanilli Roxette Chicago (their sellout decade) Richard Marx Belinda Carlisle The Bangles Whitney Houston Nu Shoes Brian Adams Starship Oran Juice Jones The Outfield Europe Georgia Satellites Billy Vera and the Beaters A-Ha Jack Wagner Appolonia 6 Paula Abdul Sheena Easton Juice Newton Bonnie Tyler Atlantic Starr Midnight Starr Wham! Juice Newton Billy Joel Al B. Sure Kid N Play Asia Bobby Brown Bad English Ready For The World Eddie Money Bobby McFerrin Styx Frankie Goes To Hollywood Keith Sweat Night Ranger Huey Lewis and the News Berlin Big Country Toto Flock of Seagulls 38 Special Escape Club Taylor Dayne Twisted Sister Ratt Bon Jovi Warrant Krokus Winger Quiet Riot White Lion Poison Damn Yankees Poison Whitesnake Ozzie Osborne Iron Maiden Judas Priest And any other waste of space hair metal bands. , [This message was edited Thu Aug 19 18:55:28 2004 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent.

I hated almost every band in the 80's and I was scouring the airwaves for a lifeline. Unfortunately, I had no access to punk or alternative rock beyond MTV at that time. So my answer is I hated everybody, especially those flash-in-the pan New Wave bands and people like Phil Collins.
A few keepers were: The Cure Talking Heads Pretenders Supertramp The Police The Cars Bow Wow Wow Def Leppard Go Go's I loathed Toto, Foreigner, Air Supply, Duran Duran and practically everybody else but I had crushes on Billy Squier and Cheap Trick   | |

OK. I started a new thread on the topic of New Wave. Please continue and list your most unfavorable bands of the 80's. Thank you. | |
