In my era, it was Van Halen. They were loved by the jocks and the cheerleaders just as much as they were loved by the rockers and the metalheads and the burn outs. It seemed that every chick I dated in high school, no matter if she was on the gymnastics team or a cheerleader or just a regular girl had a poster of David Lee Roth or Eddie Van Halen on their walls. And no, I did not stare at the Eddie posters while I was making out with the girls....... well, maybe just a little. :lol: :LOL:


Go to agree with Curt. My first ever concert was VH 1984. I could not believe the diverse crowd that attended. What a great time to be alive!

I would have to add that GnR had a short period of time where they were bigger than anyone on the planet.
 
I'm going to have to say it's a tie between: KISS, The Beatles and Elvis.

Nothing else has come close to matching the hype levels and household name status these three artists achieved.

QUEEN


Yea, they were pretty good too. ;)

I was to young to know at the time while they were in their prime, but my understanding is that they were huuuuge, particularly everywhere else but the US as the 80's progressed.

QUEEN!!! ( WORLD WIDE ) probably the one name to close the thread! not only bigger than them selves but they maintained on a profesional level where others have sucked due to party'n n drugs or arguments..
 
Was never a fan but in 1985/6 it was Madonna and in 1983 Michael Jackson (was a fan of The Wall). Maybe Prince around Purple Rain.
 
88 i remember GnR and Def Leppard were everywhere here in the UK, then 91 and Nirvana shirts were on pretty much every kid...
