    I suppose we could begin with the soundtrack to the film, but you'd do well to check out the following bands and see if you can get some cheap Greatest Hits and Ultimate Collections on Amazon or wherever

    Motley Crue
    Poison
    KISS (Unmasked Era KISS for an 80s vibe, specifically 'Lick It Up')
    Guns N Roses - specially Appetite for Destruction
    Ratt
    Warrant
    Def Leppard
    Van Halen

    What Motley Crue said.

    Plus Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne and Skid Row. There are also non-80s bands that were heavily influenced by the era, including Iron Maiden's album Seventh Son and Rush's Signals.

    Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil or Dr Feelgood
    LA Guns - LA Guns
    Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
    Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry
    The Cult - Sonic Temple
    Billy Idol - Billy Idol

    Not an 80s band, but if you can get the first Love / Hate album 'Blackout in the Red

    I'd also go along with Cinderella, quite a bluesy band actually

    check out a CD called Hughes Thrall by Glenn Hughes ex of Deep Purple and Pat Thrall, the albums on you tube and something of a cult classic as an 80's rock album.
