Nenhuma lista de música dos anos 80 está completa sem o ícone absoluto dessa época, o cara que vendeu mais de 40 milhões de cópias e que, gostando ou não, todos conhecem.
A Austrália não tem só Canguru
AC/DC está nessa lista e deve estar presente em qualquer outra que fale em música. A banda faz sucesso há mais de 35 anos e não dá sinais de parar.
UK Was Burning
O melhor da música dos anos 80 vem, certamente, do Reino Unido. The Cure, The Smithse Jesus and Mary Chain poderiam ser chamados de “santíssima trindade” da música dessa época, mas isso seria uma injustiça, já que da Ilha vêm também bandas tão boas quantoThe Clash, New Order e outras.
