Few groups have ever enjoyed the level of overnight success that swept Wham! away in the 1980s when they sold 30million records between 1982 and 1986 as they capitalised on the growth of MTV to become amongst the most famous bands in the world.

One of the great wave of hard rock bands that followed in the footsteps of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy were at the forefront of those bands who employed two lead guitarists, Scott Gorham being joined by the likes of Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, Snowy White and John Sykes across their career.
“Maximum r’n’b” was the calling card of The Who as they came to prominence in the midst of the 1960s British Invasion, following on in the wake of The Beatles and The Stones.
Of all the British Invasion bands that dominated the world of music in the 1960s, The Kinks were perhaps the most quintessentially English of them all.
Emerging from the punk and new wave scene as a trip before pioneering goth rock in the 1980s, while also becoming purveyors of earworm pop, the career of The Cure is one heavy of drama and humour.
The Bangles rode the wave of American jangly guitar bands that characterised so much of the 1980s with the likes of REM and Lone Justice, but the all-girl quartet had a greater pop sensibility that enabled them to do great business in the singles charts as well as in concert and on album.
The world’s greatest purveyors of heads down, no-nonsense boogie, Status Quo have been a Britsh institution for nearly 60 years, from the psychedelic days of ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’ to the anthemic ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ with which they opened the Live Aid concert in 1985.
If anybody invented the idea of being a pop star, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it was Rod Stewart.
Music journalist Neil Tennant met Chris Lowe in a hi-fi shop in 1981, Tennant having bought a Korg synthesiser, much to Lowe’s fascination.
The Smiths were one of those bands that seemed to speak for a generation when they arrived on the national, and then international, scene from Manchester in 1983.
Coming to prominence as kings of the progressive rock movement in the 1970s that also spawned the likes of Pink Floyd, Yes and Jethro Tull, Genesis outstripped them all, going on to have enormous commercial as well as critical success in the 1980s and early 1990s, their drummer Phil Collins having replaced Peter Gabriel as lead singer.
