Poll question: Another poll to end all polls -- the WORST band/artist of the 80s
Now we go in the opposite direction.

Name the worst band/artist of the 1980s. PERIOD.

3. You're kidding, right?
We're talking about the decade that produced, among other puke-inducers, Air Supply, Rick Springfield, Phil Collins, New Kids On The Block, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and Bad English, to name but a few.

I'm going to assume that your polls are intended as irony....

4. Jeez, you didn't even begin
to touch on the REALLY bad '80s stuff. Spandau Ballet, Dangerous Toys, The Thompson Twins and The Hooters were all MILES suckier than anything you listed, IMO, and that list is just off the top of my head. Let me get warmed up...

Very profound.

10. actually, I kinda like most on your list . . .
how anyone could consider Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band a "bad band" is beyond me . . . maybe not your taste in music, but certainly not a bad band . . . same goes for many of the others . . . I did vote for Van Halen, though . . . they deserve the honor . . .
