favorite metal/rock band from 80's

I like to say Motley Crue is my favorite one. what about everyone elses.

Utopia

Iron Maiden

Motorhead

Judas Priest

Dio

Guns N' Roses

Def Leppard

Was going to mention them but was not happy with their last album.

Lots of good bands came out then

Mercyful Fate

Tank

Armored Saint

Manowar

to name a few there many more could mention.

bon jovi also good too

at the time: KISS

looking back the best ROCK band of the 80's was JANES ADDICTION
best metal band: VENOM

bon jovi isnt metal

metallica
anthrax
slayer

Agree with you here.

Fear of the Dark

rock= tesla,kix,great white

metal=slayer,megadeth,anthrax,suicidal tendencies

to name a few

MAIDEN all the way.

sorry about calling you a liberal Bob sometimes I joke around a bit to add some humour and the new Maiden album is good check it out

Venom the thrash metal gods

 

Mikael you like Mercyful Fate at all Denmark's finest band who should have got big.
