Geils was great and Wolf is underrated ,but MOST? that covers a lot of ground
as far as the 80's IF you think all there was out there was Culture Club yeah wierd , but for me the 80's was full of discovering where the diversity of one of R&R's best ever groups came from item:



BTW I really like Duran Duran as well ,Pablo Cruise ,Journey kept going through the 80's there was a lot of good music

The reason I think the 70's were better was because artists still had artistic freedom in the creation of their music. In the 80's, that went away with much more of an influence of corporate producers having a say in the studio creations. That is clearly evident with bands such as Duran Duran, Culture Club, Depeche Mode, and that whole genre. Those characters were as molded by producers as characters in wrestling were by Vince McMahon. It was a circus, not musical artistic creation.

Agreed. The 70's were the best for music and film but there are insane bands in the 80's that don't fall into that New Romantic ideals and circus you are referring to / especially bands emerging from the late 70's into the early 80's - they did some of their best stuff, the Clash, the Police, The Jam, all the ska and reggae I can think of
