Whose 80s is this? I was listening to Slayer and Metallica. Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood were my favorite albums back then.
I also loved The Rivers Edge because that film depicted my generation of teenagers better than any other 80's film. Sorry, but none of the artists you listed get my vote; which is a shame because I hear they all speak very highly of me. Lol.
I loved the Dead Kennedys when I was a teenager. I actually met Jello Biafra and had coffee with him once; he was a very approachable guy. I don't know if you've ever seen any concert footage of them, but if you haven't you should track some down. Jello is a fantastic performer, and the crowds used to go nuts slam dancing and stage diving etc. It's great to watch, would've been even better being there.
umm.... somebody forgot INXS, the best Australian band ever. Also, Never Tear Us Apart was featured on Donnie Darko, and the song got high in the charts in the US.
Tears For Fears (soem of theier songs are in the 80's), also featured in DOnnie Darko.
PS. Wasn't there as song in the 80's called "Video killed the radio star" or something like that?
Yes. And it's true. Before music video, a band had to sound good. That's where the talent was needed. Nowadays, look good in front of the camera. Maybe do something outrageous, and you're a star.
Meatloaf is a favorite not so much for Meat, but for the real talent behind the operation: Jim Steinman. Some may know some of Steinman's other songs besides the Bat Out of Hell albums. Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Total Eclipse of the Heart, and It's All Coming Back to Me Now being the biggies I recall.
Bat out of Hell was released in the 70s. I was into more alternative stuff in those days, but if I had to nominate a favourite mainstream band from the 80s; I'd nominate Queen.
I was into specific songs more than specific entertainers in the '80s.
Anybody remember these artists. Some were big, some were like one-hit wonders and others provided memorable sound track songs to hit movies.

I saw Judas Priest live in Long Beach around '82 or '83, and I wasn't even a Priest fan. (Had friends who were, however)
I met Joan Jett and Lita Ford, when they were with the Runaways, one night at KROQ radio station (circa '7. They were just hanging out. Smoking, talking, drinking, laughing. Very cool. One of my friends had a plan on how we could me the ladies, which included drummer Sandy West -- Cherie Curry was gone by then, pursing a solo career... and movies.
We had to bribe the DJ, Rodney Bingenheimer. Enroute to the Pasadena station, we stopped off in Little Tokyo and bought this Japanese Haga book dedicated to a very young Brooke Shields. Rodney had this thing for 'young things.' We delivered the book and he welcomed us with open arms.
