Make your picks - The 80s

I listen to a lot of classic 80s music and have thought about how I'd choose between some of the greats from the 80s if paired head to head. How would you land on the below head to head matchups? Thinking just about their work from the decade of the 80s...
Steve Winwood vs. Bruce Hornsby
Bon Jovi vs Def Leppard
Bryan Adams vs. Eddie Money
John Cougar Mellenkamp vs Bruce Springsteen
Tears for Fears vs. The Cure
Hall and Oates vs. Lionel Richie
Depeche Mode vs. Duran Duran
Motley Crue vs Poison
Wham vs Culture Club
Talking Heads vs The Cars
Prince vs. Michael Jackson
Peter Gabriel vs. Tom Waits
Steve Winwood vs. Bruce Hornsby
Bon Jovi vs Def Leppard
Bryan Adams vs. Eddie Money
John Cougar Mellenkamp vs Bruce Springsteen
Tears for Fears vs. The Cure
Hall and Oates vs. Lionel Richie
Depeche Mode vs. Duran Duran
Motley Crue vs Poison
Wham vs Culture Club
Talking Heads vs The Cars
Prince vs. Michael Jackson
Peter Gabriel vs. Tom Waits

Good one for sure. I felt like I needed to get back to work so stopped where I did
But I'd probably cast my vote for The Outfield. Your Love was my go to bar song for quite some time. I was also remiss in including The Smiths in one of these matchups, and they're fantastic. I just couldn't figure out their parallel.

I wasn't offering a choice between the two. I would choose both and The Smiths.

High N Dry and Pyromania are their 2 best albums. Hysteria is a close 3rd. Everything after is horrible.

I hear you but Bon Jovi is not even halfway there. Girl music if there ever was. It’s like bad medicine.

A lot of shite on none of my play lists.
Steve Winwood Arc of A Diver ( 1980 ) would probably be my favorite album from those artists in that decade. Edit- missed The Talking Heads and Cars in there. Obviously both peaked although the Heads peaked for an entire decade.

Mötley Crüe shouldn’t be paired with Poison. Poison was much lighter, pop oriented and bubble gum. The Crüe was harder, heavier, and as a whole, the subject matter of their music was much more serious and hard edged. For example: “Wild Side” vs. “Nothin’ But A Good Time”..... “East L.A. at midnight, papa won’t be home tonight, found dead with his best friend’s wife” vs. “Ain’t looking for nothing but a good time and it don’t get better than this”.
A more appropriate comparison would be The Crüe vs. Guns ‘n Roses or RATT.
