Recently i've noticed myself listening more and more to 80's rock and i must say It Fucken Owns! I've never heard a guitarist play his heart out so well(Crazy Train), I've never heard such great lyrics, And most of all the Songs they dont suck! They are'nt a bunch of whiny emo kids singing about how bad life is and shit, Or some asshole punks singing about their Lonely lives, No they're real rockers who sing about living it up breaking the fucken law doing whatever the fuck you want to do and pissing off anyone that gets into your way. I say there is no comparison to the wannabe rockers right now on z100(New york based station which plays all the current music) To the true Rock Stars from the 70's to 80's.

I've also started listening to 80's hip hop(Which is basically disco and dance with words that rhyme alot And it's ok) And Pop i must say the stuff they had back then is 10 times better then the same recycled shit we hear now. So i;m asking you guys if you know any good 80's music whether it be Rock,Pop, Or Hip Hop Please tell me.

Seriously?  Be careful what you say.  80's music usually refers to the vintage pop stuff with synthesizers and generally lame crap.  Some of it's good, mind you, but it's not rock.

If you like rock and/or metal, you need to pick up stuff from these guys...

Led Zeppelin - all albums*
Black Sabbath - all albums*, this is ozzy's original band and IMO better than Ozzy's solo career
** note - Zeppelin and Sabbath virtually created the metal genre... if you love metal you want their catalog because you'll hear it everywhere

Jimmie Hendrix - Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland  -- anyone that likes rock needs all three of these albums... Hendrix raised the bar and no one has come close since... all three albums are great.

Alice Cooper - School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies

AC/DC - High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Highway to Hell, Back in Black

80's rock needs to include these albums:

Metallica - albums Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, and even the self titled Metallica (ge the version with 'So What" on it, a great metal song)...  ONE still gives me chills and cracks me up how my innocent aunt had no idea what kind of music she bought me that Christmas...


Guns 'N Roses - Appetite for Destruction best album from GNR and never lived up to again, one of the premier metal albums of the 80s...  Case in point...
GNR - Welcome to the Jungle:


GNR - Paradise City
 

GNR - Sweet Child 'o Mine




Megadeth - albums Peace Sells but Who's Buying, Countdown to Extinction... two favorite tracks:

Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction


Megadeth - Sweating Bullets



Def Leopard - albums Hysteria and Pyromania... probably not great now but I wore the tapes out when I was growing up


And it's later than the 80s (early 90s) but I'd also recommend
Rage Against the Machine - their self titled album as well as Evil Empire


BTW, once you're into the 90s you've got some great metal/industrial stuff with Tool and Nine Inch Nails.  NIN's Downward Spiral is one of the all time greatest albums ever.

Holy crap, man.. Rap?  You realize gangster rap started in the 80s, right?  NWA was the first but I never had one of their albums.  If I recall correctly that's where Eazy, Dre,  Ice Cube and Ren all started out

I didn't listen to much back then, but these two stick out in my mind:

Eazy-E - album Eazy-Duz-It... my friends and I wore this tape OUT back in the day

Eazy-E - Boyz n the hood




Then of course Dre and Snoop put out The Chronic in '92...  This is an essential album, but surely everyone already has this.

Dr. Dre - Nuthin' But A G Thang


Dr. Dre - F**k Wit Dre Day

I agree. This is great music, especially Eazy-E.
AC/DC although a groundbreaking bank, lacks originality from itself.
Every song has the same basic rift, chorus sound and format. I get bored listening to more than 3 songs by them.
