taking care of business

you'll have to fogive me for not posting anything the past couple of days- i've been exhausted (in addition to my usual day job, i've been on wnok all week) and i'm afraid my beauty sleep takes priority over blogging.

anyway, i somehow managed to get tagged the other day by my mossy friend, and i promised to do something about it today. (well, thursday, which ended about an hour ago, technically.) anyway, my list is below. i'll try not to repeat too many of anyone else's answers, but i can't make any serious promises, since i'm not looking at mossy or larry's lists while doing this.

(1) No repeats from other lists (or as few as possible)
(2) In order to be considered an 80s band, they must have released an album in the 80s.(i'm going to use 1979-1990 here- hope the sticklers don't mind too much.)
(3) "Alphabetical" implies that if it is a single person, you list by the last name but a band that has a person's name is listed by the first word. Therefore, Michael Jackson and Jethro Tull would both be under "J".
