'80s and '90s musical groups - What are your favorites?

In the 80s, I loved Flock of Seagulls.
In the 90s, it is hard to pick just one.
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana
Boyz II Men
Prince
Prodigy

80's: I've got to go with Prince. He and Michael Jackson came onto the pop scene about the same time, but Prince has just been a much better artist without all the drama.

90's: Going with Pearl Jam. 'Nuff said.

80's & 90's (in no particular order): AC/DC, Def Leppard, Metallica, M.C. Hammer, Garth Brooks, New Edition (and subsequently Bell Biv Devoe), Whitesnake, Vanilla Ice (yeah, I said it!), Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson, Alanis Morrissette, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, Kid n Play, Dire Straits, Tupac, Randy Travis, Huey Lewis & the News, Beastie Boys, Janet Jackson, Poison, Nirvana, Eminem (career started in the 90's I think), Dave Mathews Band, Boys 2 Men, Journey.

That's enough.
