Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Pro'lly cuz they had a song called "I live Rock n Roll" that played on the radio all the time in the 80s & 90s.
All the rock'n'roll music I listened to back in the 80s that I don't ever remamber having a "genre" title too, was lumped together with Synthpop & is now seemingly just refurred to as "80s."
In the 90s, I liked everything, dance, hip-hop, metal, rock, ballad....The only rock band I can remember by name is Green Day.
In 1998, I swore off English-language music do to the sucksplosion & to this day cannot name any American bands....or actors.
