I know, some of the best music of the century is from the 80's. It was hard for me to pick three too. Thanks for replying.

i agree the 80's was the new era of music and many great songs that are still being remade by new artists came from that era. but there are no immitations for artists like bob segar, eagles, and too many to name

Oh darn, I can only pick three?! I dearly love '80s music and play it constnatly in the house and car. The kids make fun of it all the time! Lets see, if I had to say three it would be: (1) Foreigner (2) Queen (3) The Police I didn't include Billy Joel, my favorite artist of all time because he spans so many decades!

I know what you mean, choosing only three makes it rather tough. There were so many influencial bands and musicians in the 80's. I too love Billy Joel, he will always be at the top of the list. Thank you for sharing your favorites. I really appreciate it.

Mmmm....picking three is difficult. I'd have to say Aerosmith, Ozzy and Bon Jovi. Of course there's also Metallica, which would tie with Aerosmith.

LOL. See like I said above, it is hard to choose only three. Yeah, Ozzy, you can't forget him. Thanks for the response.

Hi! I guess I'd have to say Hall and Oates, Air Supply, and Foreigner. Of course I still listen to them today - those songs were popular during some the best times of my life! :-)

It is interesting how music makes us reflect on different times (good and bad) in our lives. It is such a part of our inner souls. I love Foreigner 4 the best. Air Supply was also a huge hit for me for a while. Glad you have good memories. Keep listening. Thank you for responding. I appreciate it.

Queen will always "rock" with me. I love their music. I played it over and over when I was in high school. I did that with Pink Floyd too. Thanks for the reply.

My favorites from the 80's would have to be "Bon Jovi", "Motley Crue", and of course, "Ratt". There were several hundred others, but those are my top 3 faves.
