[QUOTE=Neapolitan;810233]that's really iffy, yeah you're right, both the Edge and Adam Clayton were born in England but like mentioned above the band, U2, is from Ireland.

Most bands I like from England that were popular during the 80's actually formed or started out in the 60's and 70's. So I kinda agree about the division line of 1980. There are a few exception for me like The Fixx and The Smiths, they formed in the 80's there are the only one I can think of right now, but you are totally wrong about The Clash

They are not a post 1980 band but were quite active in the 70's. There are more Clash albums prior to Combat Rock in their catalogue, you should check them out.[/QUOTE]

Oh god bro please don't think I'm a newb. I own London Calling, Give 'Em Enough Rope and the self titled debut, and greatly treasure all 3. I was only referring to the Clash's 80's output.
