Round Four of The Hottest 80s Band Tournament
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Cure
Defeated opponents: Dexys Midnight Runners, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cross
Formed in: 1978
Genres: goth rock, pop, dark pop, new wave
Lineup: Robert Smith - vocals, guitars, and keyboard
Simon Gallup - bass
Lol Tolhurst - drums
Roger O'Donnell - keyboard
Porl Thompson - guitars, keyboards, sax
Boris Williams - drums and percussion 
Albums from the 80s: 
The Top (1984)
The Head on the Door (1985)
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987)
Disintegration (1989)
Propaganda: the band, especially Robert, has such a dark beauty to it, especially when photographed or even more through their music. I think they way they write and sing songs is probably the hottest thing about them, a very sweetly delicate, but often miserable, tone in the guitar; Robert's soft, breathy voice, and their lyrics. they are a very nice sounding and looking group, in short
Bon Jovi 
Defeated opponents: Salt-N-Pepa, Violent Femmes, Queensrÿche
Formed in: 1983
Genres: Hard rock, area rock, pop rock
Lineup: Jon Bon Jovi- vocals
 David Bryan- keyboard 
Tico Torres- drums
Alec John Such- bass
Richie Sambora- guitar
Albums from the 80s: 
Bon Jovi (1984)
7800 Fahrenheit (1985)
Slippery When Wet (1986)
New Jersey (1988)
Propaganda: Genre-defying powerhouse of a band. So many classic songs. Every member was some flavor of hot but Richie was married Heather Locklear hot and Jon was hot enough to make you want to take a risk on a Jersey boy. Their stage show was iconic with Jon, Richie and Alec fitted with wires so they could be lifted up and fly out over the crowd mid-performance. (See the video for Livin' on a Prayer to see this in action) They're still performing to this day and Jon is still married to his high school sweetheart which I think is kind of adorable.

Kiss me goodbye Pushing out before I sleep Can't you see I try? Swimming the same deep water as you is hard The shallow drowned lose less than we The strangest twist upon your lips And we shall be together And we shall be together
Kiss me goodbye Bow your head and join with me And face pushed deep reflections meet The strangest twist upon your lips Disappear, the ripples clear And laughing breaks against your feet And laughing breaks the mirror sweet So we shall be together
So we shall be together
Kiss me goodbye Pushing out before I sleep It's lower now and slower now The strangest twist upon your lips And I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently my hands Before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile The very last thing before I go The very last thing before I go The very last thing before I go
I will kiss you I will kiss you I will kiss you forever on nights like this I will kiss you I will kiss you And we shall be together
