I like Randy Rhoads, but let’s be honest, the 80’s had a lot of bad music. Ofc it’s very subjective, and comes down to personal preference, but I’m more of a 70’s/90’s kind of guy.

Love Randy, yeah, there was some weird stuff in the 80's but I like a lot of it. Some very underrated guitarists in the 80's
and some damn good bands as long as they weren't Pop. Whitesnake, Skid Row, Damn Yankees (with Uncle Ted) and I
know they looked like girlie boys but Cinderella is very underrated. Could go on with the hair bands lol
Funny to watch but they were talented.
And yes, I am more of a 70's/90's guy myself. Pink Floyd was my favorite band under David Gilmour. Loved LZ and all of
the classic rock of the 70's and I was an Alt metal dude in High School. Just no Pop music please...

Cardi B makes guys like Eddie Money and Boy George look like Beethoven and Mozart.
I’m not into much modern music either, but that doesn’t necessarily make the 80’s a good decade for music.
I mean, my favorite band of all time (Pixies) formed in the 80’s, but I’m just not into hair metal or stuff like Michael Jackson. Which is what I associate with the 80’s the most.

No doubt. New Pop is the worst shit I have ever heard.

I’m more into stuff like Pixies, Nirvana, The Clash, Johnny Cash...
Of the Clash albums that matter... Sandinista and Combat Rock were released in the 80s. London Calling in December of 79. There was a ton of great music in that decade. It just gets lost in the fashion, and gaudy hair bands that appeared later on.

London Calling rocks.
To keep this thread here, so did James Brooks, Ickey Woods, Boomer, Curtis, Eddie Edwards, Kenny Anderson (HOF snub),
Ken Riley (another HOF snub) Munoz (HOF rightfully so) Montoya, Dan Ross etc.

This. Too many people immediately think of bands Poison and Motley Crue when it comes to the decade.
Here are some bands who released multiple well received albums during the decade:
The Police
Red Hot Chili Peppers
GNR
Metallica
Dire Straits
Primus
The Talking Heads
REM
Faith No More
In Living Colour
Also, I don't care what anyone says bands like The Scorpions, Genesis, Duran Duran, and Depeche Mode are not cheesy at all.
Also, if you're in to Hip Hop it's hard to ignore Run DMC's importance.
