The eighties produced mega-stars including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince, Phil Collins, George Michael & Cyndi Lauper. Mega bands like Duran Duran, Culture Club, Wham, U2, INXS, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses. Australian bands AC/DC, Australian Crawl, Midnight Oil, Icehouse, Crowded House, Mental as Anything, Hoodoo Gurus, Men at Work, and the Divinyls shone.
