Anyone with taste in music, will have bands from the 80's in their cd collection. Because honestly, bands from the 80's, at least certain ones, really kicked some ass. So, why not discuss them?
Here are some of my fav's:
RATT
Whitesnake
Winger
Cinderella
Slaughter
Skid Row
Kixx
Motley Crue
Warrant -Gotta love me some Sweet Cherry Pie.
I could go on, and on. Let's see some of everyone else's.
80's Rock/Metal/Whatever That were/still are good.

Feenixx, big thank you for this topic 
I echo all the bands you listed. Kix was one of my favorites, and Brian Forsythe remains one of my favorite guitarists.
I sort of ran the gammit in terms of 80's metal/hair metal/rock. Here are some of the groups I listened to, Feenixx's list inclusive:
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Testament
Metallica (pre-Black Album)
Suicidal Tendencies
Loudness
Lita Ford
W.A.S.P.
Danzig
Dangerous Toys (I liked their Texas bluesy style)
Lillian Axe (very good friends)
Pantera
Queensryche
Great White
Vain
Every Mother's Nightmare
L.A. Guns
Guns 'N' Roses (until Use Your Illusion I and II)
Tesla
Poison
Hanoi Rocks
Vixen
Femme Fetale
Doro Persch
Faster Pussycat
There are tons more, but I'm drawing such a blank on any more bands...I'll probably add more later.

I need to look at my "other" cd tower I have in my front room. I'm pretty sure I have well over half of those bands you mentioned.

The "whatever" part of the topic name meant; discuss anything, that was music anyways, from the 80's. It could consist of Rap, Pop, or whatever.
Some of the lead in their music was like a fucking wrecking ball being dropped on my nuts, I loved Dokken...I still do.
