    Define 80s.

    Most of the bands already mentioned were making music in the 70s or earlier. Both Genesis and Jethro Tull realeased their first album in the 60s.

    Musical taste is very personal so I suspect we'll get the usual debates, including obscure bands that few have heard of, but I'll throw in U2, a true 80s band as they signed their first album deal in 1980.

    Other notables:

    Metallica
    Stevie Ray Vaughan
    Prince

    Queen reign supreme. , especially when you take their live shows into consideration. Dire Strait did some good music as well though.
    Also I think your forgot AC/DC. who's Back in Black was released in 1980.
