The following is a classic rock list of Classic Rock Bands Of The 80s.

This isn’t a complete Classic Rock Bands Of The 80s list but a work in progress that will continually be added to.

The 80’s are often overlooked as a good decade for classic rock bands. As far as music goes, the 80’s were the decade for styles such as synth pop, new wave, and hair metal. Classic rock music, however, was sort of getting weak – probably because synth styles got popular and that sound doesn’t really work well with the TRUE Classic Rock sound. A lot of classic rock bands who were around and popular in the 60’s and 70’s seemed to have some difficulties transitioning into the 80’s since a lot of their albums didn’t do very well, and some even failed to score hit singles. There were however some classic rock bands that managed to keep themselves high on the charts.

1. Guns N’ Roses
2. Van Halen
3. Bon Jovi
4. Aerosmith
5. Journey

I’m sure everyone will have their own classic rock definition opinion and musical time line of when certain musical events occurred so what I’m going to present is my version of what classic rock is and who are the classic rock bands associated with it.

Classic Rock is a genre of music that combines a rock sound that is heavy on guitars with a particular time period.

I believe the classic rock era begin in the early 60’s with classic rock bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks & The Who – all British Rock Bands.

I feel the classic rock music era ended in the early 1980’s – pretty much at the end of 1982.

After this time period the modern pop music sound that you hear today began to take shape along with the rise of rap music. Synthesizers and drum machines began to take over popular music and all of a sudden all the classic rock bands that were still playing began to sound watered down and robotic – guitars suddenly seemed un-hip and were buried in the background. The heavy distorted rock guitar riffs that we grew up with seemed dead and laid to rest. Maybe it died when Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 due to drummer John Bonham’s death.

Classic Rock should stand apart from other rock genres like glam rock, punk rock, alternative, 80’s hair metal, and 90’s grunge rock. We also should not lump bands that sometimes mimic the classic rock sound. Just as classic rock radio stations don’t agree on what exact time period encompasses classic rock, there isn’t a hard and fast dictionary definition for us to apply. The more you listen to it, learn about it, and discuss it with others, you’ll eventually be able to know it when you hear it.
