etc, etc etc

any of the older members remember any of these older bands ?

the younger ones will hate this stuff to death but oh well, its what I grew up on :)

i listened to a few of those (especially the british acts)

Not real familiar with those...When I was 20 years younger, I was listening to:

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
AC/DC
Nine Inch Nails (Trent was pretty new then ;))
Quiet Riot
Def Leppard
Lynard Skynard
Judas Priest
Led Zeppelin
Bob Segar
Twisted Sister
Queen
Cyndi Lauper
Prince

Sooo many more...But, I'm sure you get the idea...

i listened to these as well (i removed the ones i didnt) but i had friends in bands who turned me onto this mostly british wave in the 80's ..

most of it we had to buy on imported vinyl so it cost an arm and a leg ...

I wasn't really big on the "new wave" stuff. I did like Elvis Costello,Simple Minds, some Ian Dury and Thomas Dolby.
A few you didn't mention that i liked were

Underworld
The The
Frankie Goes to Hollywood

But i guess for the most part i was and still am "STUCK IN THE 70s"

Allman Bros
Skynyrd
Black Sabbath
Zepplin
AC/DC
Bad Co
ect.ect.ect.

i totally forgot to mention The The and it was on my mind when i wrote the post ..

I have almost everything buy them/him ...
Uncertain Smile - what a great song ..

This thread is prejudice against us young'ns who happen to only BE twenty....
