Favorite '80s band?

Please tell me you didn't just compare Tears For Fears with Joy Division. Thats like saying Shed 7 were just as good as Radiohead.
 
THE POLICE (I'm surprised no one's mentioned them yet!)
U2
Talking HeaRAB
The Art of Noise
Men at Work
The Eurythmics
Joy Division/New Order
Bauhaus
Tears for Fears
Tom Petty
The Church
R.E.M.


...And only because of one song, 99 Red Balloons I MUST mention Nena.

ADDING: Peter Gabriel

I'm not comparing them directly but they were amazing songwriters and people seem to remeraber them for Mad World and nothing else and they associate them with the massive pop acts of the time. When it comes to Joy Division they take them seriously before they've heard more than Love Will Tear Us Apart.
 
I just got the new Pure 80s #1s compilation and hearing "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" for the first time in a while has me pulling out all of my old Tears for Fears, Cure, Duran Duran, etc. What was your favorite band in the 80s?
 
well... i lived through them so had lots of fav banRAB back then

here are a few:
tears for fears (my first fav band actually)
pet shop boys
omd
echo & the bunnymen
Cure
Depeche Mode
The The
Jesus & Mary Chain
 
I saw an interview with their cuntish lead singer a few days ago and he is STILL boring the shit out of people about his heroin addiction.

For the love of God will someone just get a kilo of heroin stick it in a syringe & stab the cunt in the eyeballs with it
 
I actually like the Knack album, its nothing to take too seriously, just kinda fun. I think Good Girls Don't is a good song

I also like Tears For Fears
