top bands of the 80's

while i'm at it i thought i might as well list my top bands from the 80's... some of these bands continued on into the 90's and in the case of sonic youth are still a fully functional mind-blowing live unit... rem are still plugging away but with the loss of drummer bill berry, who chucked it all in to go and live and work on his farm, they have not made any albums to write home about for a while... although saying that, live, they still continue to deliver the goods with a back catalogue to kill for...

okay so here we go... in no real order because i hate order...

1. sonic youth
2. the smiths
3. fugazi
4. rem
5. hüsker dü
