What do you think of this ranking? TBH, I know very little about Styx or Loverboy.
I would have to put Foreigner or Journey as number one.
I find Journey more relevant than all on that list and it’s not even close.
Since I know nothing about Styx, I can’t argue.
Also, Tyler likes to stir up shit.
Didn’t realize it was DAC’s kid that posted that.
Those 5 bands would be near the bottom of my list of 80’s bands.
He has two podcasts: Cocaine & Rhinestones, which is about the history of country music. It’s really good. His other one is called Your Favorite Band Sucks where he trashes bands, with a partner. I’ve never heard that one.
I think Styx and Foreigner are about tied. I was never really a Journey fan. Even though Supertramp released its Breakfast in America LP in1979, it was one of the best albums of the era with a couple of the best songs of the era. I also liked The Cars better than Journey, Toto or Loverboy.
Big fan of The Cars!!
There are some I didn’t listen to all that much back then. Put REO Speedwagon in my list recently; I’d mostly only heard a couple of hits. Just recently had Melissa Etheridge and she was really good. Just got a notification that she’s playing near me in a couple of months.
A girl I hung out with in the early '80s wore out a few Candy O cassettes, I think that’s all she listened to in high school. When I was driving I wouldn’t let her bring it in my car.

I’ve recently been getting into the Talking Heads, some good stuff. David Bowie too.
I have recently figured out that REM was good.
Try listening to their albums in order. Some cool stuff.
