the features of the 1980s british popular music?

Post punk music really took off in the early eighties, bands like The Jam were popular. They had the vitriol of punk musicians but were less harsh sounding than the punk music of the seventies.

Then there were a lot of new romantic and synth based bands. They were more concerned with the fashion than the actual music. Electric drum kits were all the rage.

In the eighties bands like Madness found great success in Britain with a ska/reggae influence.

G'day Delicioustoffees, thank you to your question. there have been a great variety. Britpop. Coldplay have long gone from potential to potential. New Soul: Amy Winehouse, Duffy and a great variety of extra. Rap and dirt, The Streets, Wiley. Pop exciting: The Ting Tings. Regards

there wasn t any .the 1980s were known for crappy hair doos , neo romantic clothing,boots all the bands were desperate to show how sensitive the were, which left not much room for music in general. praise the lord those evil days are past.

Could you put that in the form of an actual question rather than brief notes please...?
