80's: I've got to go with Prince. He and Michael Jackson came onto the pop scene about the same time, but Prince has just been a much better artist without all the drama.

90's: Going with Pearl Jam. 'Nuff said.

I've always loved the Counting Crows.

The were formed in the early 90's, and went on to have quite a bit of success throughout the 90's.

Would have loved to have seen them in concert.

So many good artists/groups from both decades it's hard to choose. Most I listened to though;
80's - Lita Ford, Metallica, Poison, Skid Row, Run DMC, beastie boys;
but I was also a big fan of AC/DC (although began during 70's) during the 80's.

90's - Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Social Distortion

90's I started listening to the Gods of metal, METALLICA.

The 80s was an exciting time for music. While I was stationed in Germany from 81-87, I worked the military club circuit as a DJ after duty. Out of about 250 clubs, I performed in about 147 of them. The photo is a shot of me onstage in March 1986 in Kornwestheim at the Kulturehalle for a Army retirement party.

My favorite 80s bands included Duran Duran, The Smiths, The The, BAP (a German band from Koln), Van Halen, Accept, Human League, Thompson Twins, The Police, David Bowie, Simple Minds, Prince, Run D.M.C., The Cars, Alabama, David Allan Coe, Hank Jr., and way too many more to list here.
