I will aswell, Anything that can still be reccommended from the 80's should be at least fairly good.

Awesome!!! They were the first Japanese band I got into!!

I've always seen them as two bands though:
1. BoØwy - The studio band (80's pop rock with loads of keyboads etc)
2. BoØwy - The live band (just straight out rock)
