My favorite has to be U2, I still listen to those guys even to this day. I like how their music reflects the tribulations they were going through in Ireland. Actually, when I was about 12 I saw their Vertigo concert in Dallas. However, Bono I think has turned into too much of a pop star.
I didn't like syncronicity though, I'm a big fan of Sting but not the police. Their music is a little too poppy, and it just seems to drag on and on.
The romantics were crap too. Plus that guy had a weird music video and it made me feel uncomfortable.
I've always liked the talking heads too, except I didn't really like the song we listened to in class.

81 Favorite Song
I really enjoyed pretty much all of the 81 stuff that we listened to, primarily because a lot of what 103.5 Bob FM plays is from that late 70s early 80s time period. I'd have to say that my favorite was Stevie Nicks, one, because I think she's a phenomenal singer, and 2, she's really good looking. I preferred her when she was on her own, but her Fleetwood Mac stuff was good too. Edge of Seventeen was my favorite song, the music video was pretty cool too. She has a fantastic voice.

70s Synopsis
Sorry this blog is coming in late, I guess I missed the memo again.
Anyway the 70s were far different from the 60s and the 80s.the decade saw the rise of disco, which became one of the biggest genres of the decade, especially in the mid-to-late 1970s. Rock music played an important part in the Western musical scene, with punk rock thriving throughout the mid to late 1970s.[2] Other sub-genres of rock, particularly glam, hard rock, progressive, art rock, and heavy metal achieved various amounts of success. Disco soon split off and led the way for a disco/rock hybrid, synth rock. Disco and Rock competed heavily in this decade, backed by the emergence of various sub-genres of the two. The Ramones and Blondie highlighted the Punk Rock genre, ZZ top and Aerosmith shaped other rock genres.

70s vs. 80s Musical Perspective
I'd have to say that if I were to live in one of the two, it would have to be the 70s. Musically as well, I prefer the 70s. I mean it's pretty hard for any decade to compete with the likes of Aerosmith and ZZ top. Not to mention that the 70s was what I would call "real" rock. It was your typical heavy guitar, heavy drums, and heavy vocals type of music. The 80s on the other hand contained a lot of funk and electronic elements, which was a little to pop-like for me. The 80s was a lot softer than the 70s when it comes to the type of rock that was played during the two time periods. My favorite 80s artist would have to be Pat Benatar, very catchy sons.
