There are plenty of bands from the 1980s that have unfortunately become forgotten, but they deserve to be remembered. While they may not have achieved the heights that bands such as the hit-making Def Leppard did, they still made their mark on the music industry. For some, they had tunes that were just as good as many classic rock songs that could have been number ones. For others, it was their overall body of work that left an impression on their specific niche.
