This year a lot more 80s bands are coming back onto the musical tour pathway bringing some great music back to live venues. Hitting the concert path this year are: Poison, Def Leppard, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Teena Marie, Keith Sweat, Depeche Mode, Wang Chung, and the Pet Shop Boys. Some of these bands you may never of heard of but you would know their hit songs if you heard them. The 80s are probably coming back, thanks to the hip-hop/pop industry who uses a lot of the 80s old beats and lyrics. Such as Flo Rida's Dead or Alive using "Right Round." Obviously, if the bands are going to reunite successfully they need to bring a little something something that this generation wants to hear. But, I'm excited for a few of these bands to come back to the live stage and rock their faces off!

They don't "need to bring a little something something that this generation wants to hear" because this generation already wants to hear the songs they have. Just look at the popularity of the 80's songs on Guitar Hero. If you mean they should update their music to appeal to current sensibilities, then you couldn't be more wrong. If by this statement you mean that they shouldn't play new music, then you're dead on. Nothing pisses off fans interested in your classics more than demoing new material on them. If you mean they should update their music to appeal to current sensibilities, then you couldn't be more wrong.
