80's Rock Bands
Hi everybody!
I just wanted to asked if any of you know melodic 80's rock bands such as Bon Jovi, Survivor and all that stuff... Other than Def Leppard, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Europe, Journey and so on, you know. I was looking for something "less known" or famous. I love those 80's kind of songs with electric guitar and synth. The ones you may hear in low rated movies xd. Thanks in advance! |

Check out Little Angels-one of my favourite bands :D Their début album Don't Pray For Me may be exactly what you are looking for.....
|
I love Gorky Park, and particularly this song called Bang:
It was featured in the Access All Areas video. Great old Russian band |

thank me later also, TEN look em up on youtube...." Lonliest Place in the world" THE SOLO IS AMAZING! |
Danger Danger fit into the category you describe. Their last album Revolve was awesome.
|
You should check out Dann Huff's band, "Giant", from the late 80's-early 90's. They are the real deal.
|
They're not exactly "less known" but Warrant. I second the rec for Gorky Park too.
|
Check out Rock City Angels. Awesome band.
|
About 2 years too late to be considered an 80s band, but Blue Tears. Bon Jovi meets Def Leppard. Awesomeness.
|
Bad English and Mr. Big!
|
Crowded House. Not exactly like Bon Jovi and the like but worth giving a try. I would suggest their debut album for 80s, although their 90s stuff is better IMO

I really enjoy Firehouse. Could give them a go, although I think theyre somewhat 'well known'.
Wig Wam are a modern band who sound exactly like theyre out of the 80's glam metal scene... although theyre quite a joke. Worth I try though. Might find one or two gems. |
Thanks to all and any of you!!
Wow that was amazing. Got lots of new stuff now. By the way, for the one who mentioned "Little Angels", there's a song called "Tired of Waiting" that's very reminiscent (the intro) to "Let it Rock" by BJ and the singer says "Sounds like bown Jowvyyy". To make it more accurate, I found a song which is a perfect example of the kind of band I'm looking for: |
Although technically not an 80s band, Nelson is great.
Apart from the already mentioned: Winger, KISS(!), Scorpions, Rainbow, Gun, Cinderella, LA Guns, White Lion, Slaughter, Twisted Sister (!), Tesla, W.A.S.P., Extreme, Hanoi Rocks, David Lee Roth solo band, Thunder (!), Rockhead (Bob Rock's band), etc. New bands worth a try: Steel Panther and Reckless Love Ice |
Steel Panther once performed Runaway with Dave on the keyboards.
|
some great suggestions here so far. here's a few more:
Signal (Loud & Clear) Dare (Out Of The Silence, Blood From Stone) Harem Scarem (Harem Scarem, Mood Swings) Hardline (Double Eclipse) H.E.A.T. (Freedom Rock, Address The Nation) Tower City (A Little Bit Of Fire, All Or Nothing) The Storm (The Storm) The Magnificent (The Magnificent) Toby Hitchcock (Mercury's Down) Eclipse (Blood & Scream) a mix of old and new. should keep you busy for a while :) |

Listening to what you like re the Dalton track theres a band formed a couple of years ago called Houston who play exactly that sort of music but with a less "dated" feel to it. Truth Slips:Pride: Or Vega,more modern melodic rock but bloody good music,heres a snippet from there new album which sounds like it could be as good as the first on this form: And something from the 1st album,Kiss of Life:One of a Kind: |
Bad English:Bad English
Aldo Nova: Twitch Jimmy Barnes:Freight Train Heart Michael Bolton:Fools Game/Everybodys Crazy Paul Laine: Stick it your Ear Brother Firetribe:Heart full of fire Boulevard:Into the Street |
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe I've seen any mention of Gotthard. =O
And these have probably been mentioned already, but: Harem Scarem Firehouse Vandenberg Little Caesar Steelheart Lee Aaron Vixen Thunder Paul Laine Night Ranger Brighton Rock Accept Blue Murder Helix Hurricane Love/Hate .... There are tons more. |
Damn Yankees :D
|
None of them. 80s was the worst years for rock bands out of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s.
Although the 10's might be worse. |

Love / Hate - Black out in the red room
Crown of thorns Scream ( John Corabi ) Tuff To Name just a few |
Talisman would definitely work for you, or any Jeff Scott Soto solo. You will love it. Trust me. Dan Reed Network as well.

Other greats are: Starship Whitesnake John Farnam (solo i know). Eric with a K - I urgently request that you don your stuff in an 80s bar near you |

Because the 80s had highly acclaimed bands like U2, The Smiths, Talking Heads, The Police, R.E.M., The Stone Roses, The Cure, Metallica, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Dire Straits, The Replacements, Guns N' Roses, Jane's Addiction, New Order, Faith no More, etc etc etc.. Much better than the mid 90s-present period. |
