Best Rock Band of The 1980s?

Post by casecandy »

Hüsker Dü?
The Pixies?
Jesus Lizard?
The Replacements?
The Smiths?
The Cure?
Julian Cope?
Talking Heads?

Who takes home the (nonexistent, metaphorical) trophy?

And who had better music overall, the US or UK?

The only band mentioned so far that I'd think of as a rock band is the Replacements. And, yeah, they're it.
