Favourite 80s and 90s bands

[Daisychainsandglitter]

I've had a few drinks and have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching you tube videos of 80s and 90s indie and rock bands.
I think my favourite 80s band has to be The Jesus and Mary Chain.
90s is a little more difficult as I like so much music but I have settled on The Pixies
Hit me with your favourite bands from these eras and I'll have a dance in my living room

80’s has to be The Cult. I watch She Sells Sanctuary far too often on YouTube 🤣🤣

Good choice! She sells sanctuary is an excellent song!

80s I was a Duranie, then U2, then The Cult & 'edgier' bands.

90s was Madchester & trance music. I still love asking Alexa to play 90s trance & bop away in the living room.

OP have you seen Singles? Movie by Cameron Crowe set in early 90s Seattle. Awesome grunge soundtrack, and it's a lovely film. Get on and have a jig!

Duran Duran were my teenage years.

Don’t know what happened to me and music after that as I can’t really remember much I liked from the 90s 🤔

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, The Divine Comedy, Belle and Sebastian.
