When they first came out I had friends that were really in to them but it took me awhile to fully appreciate how good they are. Of Course this being a car forum this is probably the more appropriate song from them.

Have it in,33 and a,third....
Reading through this thread brings back memories rocking in 1976 to Styx Grand Illusion in my first car a 63 nova ss with a 327 4spd. Man those were the days 8 track with my dad's living room speakers in the back seat.
I'd trade the 80's for that year again.

Looking down this list, I can say that we had it rough in the 80's. I do remember just about every artist on here, most I'd like to forget tho!! I was a rocker then, thru and thru! And a **** star wanna be too, by the looks of it!!

Yeah for minute their I thought that was Ron Jeremy playing a Rickenbacher EVH Strat!!!!
I'm ashamed to say for the record, that I did that EVH treatment to my 1962 Kalamazoo, and the other guitar my buddy is playing I sold for $400. It is a Les Paul "fretless wonder", now valued at about $12k. Here it is in my buddies collection who owns it today! Of course he will not sell it back, even after "borrowing" it for the last 30 years!!

I thought it was a Les Paul or an Aria ProII...I also see a Gibson Goldtop and some SG’s, Flying V and Firebird in the mix!!! Lots of Dough tied up in that picture!!!
Rock and Roll wouldn’t be what it’s is today or then without them!!!!
Also the Les Paul Jr. that's been owned by just about every musician I know, at one time or another! Oh, the guitars I let slip threw my hands!! Don't do that anymore, now I save everything I get!

..you said "member"...
I always thought Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime was the quintessential 80's rock album. SO much good stuff on there:
Empire came out in 1990.
I was big hair back in the 70's so when the 80's came along I was right in it. So many good shows, too many bands to list. I've been in a few bands over the years, worked production for a band for 13 years and started working as a union stagehand in '95 (Blues Traveler was my first show, Thanksgiving weekend). Cool to work with all these bands I listened to back in the day because they're quite a bit more sociable now than they were in their heyday (Tesla's Jeff Keith is a TRIP!) and of course, throw in a new band here and there.
My pick for obscure '80s band is Cats In Boots:
