Other than that, I was mostly still listening to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but I only saw one live show from either, and that was Pink Floyd in Raleigh, and it was actually in the late 1970's.
Remember Men At Work? That was 80's, right? They were huge for a time.
I caught the Grateful Dead in 1983, and that became my 80's band from then on, but it took a few years before I had seen more Grateful Dead shows than Armpit shows. Yep, Armpit was a regular thing for me in the early 1980's, they played locally a lot. Destroyed a few shirts in those mosh pits (did we call it that then? Maybe), but that was the scene at the time. R.E.M. played a show at Radford in 1985, I think it was. That was fun, loved the band, not sure that I was ever much of a fan.
Oh - AND - THIS was a HUGE OVERSIGHT by all of you guys. I'm sure you'll agree that THE MOST UNDERRATED ACT in ALL of the 1980's, was of course ....

1981, but does it suck? I loved it then and love it now, but I'm still not sure it doesn't suck.
I think the long prog rock jams from genesis yes and rush opened my brain for the Dead.

Right? Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson had recurring roles and Michael Stipe cameoed!

In the 80's, I was also paying a lot of attention to Nils Lofgren, Marti Jones, and things in the style of the Rockpile alumni pop style songs that could be heard in DC on WHFS, but not DC101, WAVA, and the other classic rock station in DC I can't recall at the moment (WRQX?).
Also, agree on the George Thorogood referenced above, and he was much more accessible across the radio dial.

footnote: I always like the Sex Pistols stuff and early Clash, including attending a show of the fall 1980 Clash tour (at U of MD, first U.S. year of touring, but they did a short spring '80 tour). And I guess a lot of U2 was 80s? I was very ok with U2 airplay on the radio but never bought much, never went to a show.

Pre-Joshua Tree U2 is cool. After that it's all just about Bono's savior complex.
Been saying for years that some grass band should try "In A Big Country." That ebow (the thing that makes the guitar sound kind of like a bagpipe) is just begging to be transposed to fiddle. Can't believe no ones had a go at "Come On Eileen" either. There's already banjo and fiddle!

"The phone, the TV and the news of the world got in the house like a pigeon from Hell
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies"
"I'll die as I stand here today knowing that, deep in my heart, they'll fall to ruin one day for making us part"
One of the best modulations in rock, man.

I saw them at Hardly Strictly in San Fran in 2018. One of my favorites I saw that day.
