Talking Heads, The Smiths, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure.
Extend it 5 years and My Bloody Valentine would top my list.

Not a big fan of either band, but Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus and Every Day Is Halloween by Ministry are great songs from that era.

I wish a 15 years old Nolaville had access to these lists of bands. I remember and still listen to many bands everyone has listed, but you had to put some time in looking for some of these acts. Somebody mentioned Mink DeVille, I only discovered them like a year ago and they are awesome.
Anyway, i'll add a few.
Big Country
Madness
Book of Love
The Rave-Ups
English Beat
General Public
Squeeze
Red Rockers
The Knack
Talk Talk

I loved REM into the 90s, but their music sounds really dated now.

I couldn't disagree more... One of the few bands that when I put on their early records, it's almost like hearing them for the first time... the sound is so timeless to me..

Yup. I am listening to Chronic Town more now than ever.

Murmur, Reckoning and Fables are great albums. Life's and Document are very good.

What year did REM play the Bayou? I graduated high school in 84, so was a little too young to hit the bar scene. I love the early stuff and don’t hate me, but U2 was awesome in the early 80’s
