What's the character limit on a post?
The first three that pop into my mind are
Bananarama
Kajagoogoo
ABC

I was barely a teenager back in the 80's but I always thought New Kids and Wham sucked pretty hard.

Nitro. Ugh. Featuring possibly the least musical guitar solo ever.

Yep. That was crap! And judging by the vocals, their pants were too tight too.

What the!

Someone needs to teach that guitarist proper technique. He'll give himself an injury playing like that.
The singer wins best worst big hair award.

Adam, we need some of these kits. Lol

I guarantee Nitro didn't even get laid in the '80's. I'd never heard of them and now I'm angry that 30 years later I did.

Nitro had a one word review of their album in Guitar World magazine. Just one four letter euphemism for faeces.

When you go as far as to get tattoos of your guitar, you have to stick with it.

I predict a future in 25 yrs when a 70-something Michael Angelo Batio will be playing his two-hand guitar schtick in resorts in Florida and the Catskills...

I think I prefer the 'burning trash can' type future. Much less dismal and depressing.
