Subject: What 80s band would you like to see make a comeback?

Sort of like they had 'Bands Reunited' on VH1, I'm sure this will produce many replies.

I'd love to see The Arrows make a comeback. They were an "only in Canada" group who had 6 popular hits between 1984-1986. Man, were they ever a great band :)

Of course Devo. But they'd never chart today, too goofy and not explicit enough.
I'd thrilled to say a-ha are, amazingly enough, still a hot band in Europe, kind of like U2 are still hot here in the States. That's so cool. 8)

Donnie: Sorry, I have to inform you more. A-HA is not as popular as U2. They are more like in a same position as Duran Duran. They have a fan base, but not the mainstream stuff.
Al-Bee: WASP is touring all the time.
I'd really like to see Duran Duran's gig and The Police would be amazing to welcome back.

Yeah, but I'll tell you this, I'D go see them! I was a HUGE Devo fan in my early teens.

There are many, many 80s bands I would love to see make a comeback. Unfortunately, today's music biz is so obsessed with "youth and beauty", often at the expense of the music, that I just can't see it happening for any of my favourites. :\'(

It will never happen because Robert Palmer passed away in 2003 but I would walk 50 miles up hill both ways to see
Power Station.

Didn't the lead singer or someone from Molly Hachet just recently pass away? I would like to see Asia do a comeback tour.

They did make a comeback in the late 90's with an album called "Living in Fear". They even performed a song on "Live With Regis and Kathie Lee" :)

Journey. My 13 year old just came around to admitting that some 80's music is "Kinda cool". "It hasta be tough, not goofy". I'd have to say groups like Sherrif, Mister Mister. I like to see the early 80's groups make a come back.

They were on "Hit Me Baby One More Time", but I don't know if that's a true comeback.
Anyway. I like Loverboy too, though I probably was introduced to them the opposite of most people. I think it was 1994, I got an 80's compilation tape with "Almost Paradise", and around this time, I also heard "This Could Be the Night", so I kinda got acquainted with their softer stuff. More in the mid 80's radio ballad sense. Like Journey's latter stuff.
However, I've since gotten into "Strike Zone", "Lovin' Every Minute of it" and of course "Working for the Weekend". They're a fun band, whatever style they are.
Other bands/artists off the top of my head:
The Cars (not likely. Ric Ocasek is doing his own thing, and Ben Orr died :( )
Phil Collins
"Say Say Say"-era Paul McCartney
Billy Idol
Eddie Money
"Some Guys Have All the Luck" era Rod Stewart
"We Built This City" era Starship
Steve Miller (more of a 70's artist, but still relevant in the 80's)
Cheap Trick (esp the mid-late 80's styled songs)
Hall & Oates
Lionel Richie
Men At Work
