    Wham!



    The Police - because of their classic 80's hits
    Judas Priest - they are decent!
    Madness - they are 80's tunes!
    Human League - they are so 80's!

    The Police vs Elton John - not a big fan of either of them, but voting Sir Elton because of Rocketman
    Judas Priest vs REO Speedwagon - Though I don't like metal, I have seen them live once and they were very good
    Madness vs AC/DC - Back in Black!!
    Steve Earle vs Human League - quintessential 80's

    The Clash vs U2 - Many great songs that U2 had issued in the 80's!!
    The Cure vs Metallica - I don't like metal and Cure is one of the best live bands ever
    Queen vs REM - I like REM more but based on the 80's output Queen were absolutely amazing!!
    Hall and Oates vs Ultravox - Their songs at the beginning of the 80's were really great!!
