My favorite 5 bands of all time.

Music

This isn't easy...I like so much music from the 80s that it is hard to pick a certain number of them. But, here it goes... This is my top 5 favorite bands, all of whom were important during the 80s, regardless of how popular they may or may not have been. Believe me when I say, that I could have easily expanded this list to 20 or 50 bands, but I wanted to keep it to 5 as much as possible.

  1. Toto

  2. a-ha

  3. Skinny Puppy

  4. Ministry

  5. ABBA

Yeah, sure, I have a lot of other bands that could be here, but damn, it is hard to limit it to just 5...lol. What do the rest of you have to say about your favorites?
