When you're talking about 80's music, The Smiths are really the only band you can consider.
This list is a bit poor all the same as the only other band on there deserving of their mention are New Order. The Clash were, obviously, also a great band, however their 80's work isn't exactly anything special. There are also a number of glaring omissions from the list (U2, The Cure) which are rather unforgivable.
