I don't know if I would say Kiss and AC/DC are really 80's bands. Both had success in the decade of excess (more so AC/DC) but were both established in the 70's and had some great albums released in that decade.

Not really much to choose from as I also consider a couple of those as bands from the 70's

And the best 80's only band isn't listed.
You might considering redoing the thread with a little input from other members ?

Thats a real toughie cos all those bands have had killer albums in their time which have taken my breath away when I have heard them.

To me my favourite Im afraid to say has to be kiss.
What a band!
Stage show
great riffs and catchy tunes
larger than life rock stars
The total package!!

of course this is only my opinion

Each of those bands were unique in their own right. Tough call but I would go with Guns and Roses with AC/DC very close behind in 2nd.

I really don't care for any of those bands... but Dream Theater was formed in '85 with a studio release in '89. So they are my favorite 80's band... late 80's... but still the 80's. ^_^

But if I really had to choose from the list I'd say Guns & Roses.

Well, if we're considering Kiss a band from the 80s, or perhaps you mean which band did I like most in the 80s, I'd have to pick Kiss. Other than that, being established in the 80s I'll go with GNR.

I would normally say Kiss, but Kiss and AC/DC to me are 70's bands (Their best material was in the 70's IMO).
So I'm picking Motley Crue. Loved their attitude and the music was pretty good also.
