The Cure and Judas Priest are just the latest Eighties stars to sign new recording deals. But what other of the decade's turns deserve another outing?

Gareth Perry, virgin Megastores head of rock/pop and chart

"What I want to see is all those great post-new wave bands back in the charts--The Monochrome Set, The Fall, New Order and The Jesus And Mary Chain--but they can't make an album longer than 40 minutes."

Trevor Dann, writer and Broadcaster

"Arguably the only good band to come out of the Eighties was The Smiths. I don't know if that could happen because they hate each other."

Joel McIver, Record Collector production editor and author

"Strawberry Switchblade. They had an acute melodic awareness and were the proto-Riot Girls in their time."
