1980s
The 1980s were a golden era for rock music, producing some of the most iconic and influential bands in history. Acts like U2, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and Van Halen dominated the charts with their anthemic sound, blending hard rock, glam, and pop sensibilities. Meanwhile, bands like The Cure, R.E.M., and The Smiths brought introspection and innovation to alternative and indie rock. Metallica and Iron Maiden pushed heavy metal into the mainstream, while AC/DC continued their powerhouse momentum from the ’70s. Together, these bands defined the diverse and electrifying spirit of 1980s rock.
