Name Your Favorite 80's Music Band Or Artist - Page 5

Who sings Walk the Dinosaur? I heard it on the radio earlier (have not heard it in a long time) and now it's stuck in my head. That's a 80s song, isn't it?

"Open the door, get on the floor, Everybody walk the dinosaur..."

Mentok · 08-05-2006, 05:56 AM

Toto - Africa.

Actually, "Walk The Dinosaur" was by Was (Not Was). I knew that and admitted it in public. That's sad.

Most of the stuff I like from the 80's had already existed in the 70's or even the 60's, but only got popular until the 80's.

Motley Crue
Testament
Megadeth
sepultura
Sodom
Immortal
Carnivore
Venom
Bathory
Samhian
Dio

Bands that pre-existed 80's but became popular during that decade:
Iron Maiden
Judas Preist
Thin Lizzy
The Scorpions
Motorhead
Accept
Queen
The Ramones
The Misfits
Van Halen

There is a ton more I like, I'm just listing my top favorites.

jaguarr · 08-05-2006, 10:43 AM

Impossible to list all the talented musicians that were recording or big in the '80's, though there have been some great mentions in this thread. I can't believe no one has brought up Asia. They pretty much carried the torch for Prog-Rock in the early 80's.

Hall and oates.

greatest music duo EVER.

BatMatt · 08-05-2006, 10:47 PM

The Cult (who are my 2nd favorite band overall after The Doors). Once Ian Astbury became lead singer of the Doors of the 21st Century, I naturally started to sample Cult music and really started to dig it. I caught them in Buffalo back in March, awesome show. I have all their stuff

nightbringer · 08-05-2006, 10:49 PM

Only the greatest band ever! U2!
