I've been really enjoying this new trend of 80s style music by bands like Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, The Kaiser Chiefs, et al.

It's time for me to jump into the time machine and go back to discover the 'real' thing. As mentioned in a previous discussion between Davey and I, I was a real metalhead in the 80's. I much preferred Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath over the New Wave and Punk bands of the times.

So now I want to go back and revisit the music that I missed. Who are the bands that I should be looking into? What are the CDs that I should be buying? What should no good 80s music collection be without?

Please help me put together a shopping list. I don't even know where to start.

Thanks.
