Who was the Quintessential 80’s Band?

Who was the quintessential ’80s band?

The quintessential ’80s band is not about who was best (The Cure), or who changed music the most (REM), or who was the most popular (U2). The quintessential ’80s band is about the ’80s, epitomizes the ’80s, is the ’80s.

They feature long, bad hair, tight pants, hard rock, excess, bare chests, power ballads, thrashing guitar, crazy antics, changing up lead vocalists at the height of popularity, music videos and they should be a permanent fixture on any episode of We love the ’80s.

Ladies and gentleman, may I introduce to you, Van Halen!

Jump, Hot for Teacher, Panama, oh yeah!
