I'm surrpised The Replacements aren't on your list. They were, after all, "the last, best band of the 80s". I really miss the 'Mats, but they began a long, slow, painful decline after they kicked Bob Stinson out. They should have just quit after "Pleased to Meet Me".

I would also like to recomend another couple of additions to your list of great 70s/80s bands...The Ramones and Hoodoogurus. I'll still be listening to them when I'm sitting in my rocking chair on the porch.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"I would also like to recomend another couple of additions to your list of great 70s/80s bands...The Ramones and Hoodoogurus. I'll still be listening to them when I'm sitting in my rocking chair on the porch."

If you dig those 2 bands, then you might be interested in hearing this 2 CD comp of Australian bands from the 1970s and 1980s (including some early Hoodoo Gurus cuts). There's elements of a number of bands' sounds in these songs but there is something uniquely rocking there too:

Some online vendors appear to be way too high priced on this (they want $30 whereas I've seen this 2 disc set in stores for $17). The cheapest online vendor had it for $15 postage paid. I couldn't find a site that offerred up sound samples but there must be one someplace. It's a good album...

Ramones! I knew there was one more I used to listen to. Loverboy, Huey Lewis and the News, and 38 Special too.
