yea true and I'd imagine a lot of country artists as well, I guess I'm thinking more of those who tried to keep with the times musically but visually stayed on their own track

one of my kids thought Ferry's In Your Mind was from the IndieSleeze era! He invented the mid 2000s too!

Judas Priest definitely embraced the late 80s. Iron Maiden stuck to their path, though.

Popol Vuh also seemed to stick to their style outside of City Raga.
I dunno, this cover screams "80s New Age" at me quite loudly. I guess that's a different strand of 80s-ness though!

at this point I'm kind of wondering what 60s/70s bands *didn't* do this
Scott Walker's Climate Of Hunter & Leonard Cohen's Various Positions or I'm Your Man don't really scream "It's the '80s!" to me.

Tell you what, there weren't many soul and R&B acts/artists who didn't dive headfirst into the 80s.

soul/r&b groups traditionally good at pivoting to whatever was hip/happening at the time. which is why it was funnier when trad folk rock artists pretended to be down with robots.

Isn't Donny doing more of a '50s rocker thing there? Unless he's imitating the Stray Cats, which would be very '80s.
