Nope, Suzanna Hoffs has the win in the after pics by a huge margin.

Gary Neuman hasn't changed at ALL!!!

Holly Johnson looks like he's ready to go in for a days work in the Parliament. Wow.

Edit: And as I scroll down the list I see Ministry (which started out as a New Wave-ish band) and wow, even THAT is an old picture, at least ten years old. Uncle Al has had it rough since then but has been getting better over the last few years.

Bananarama turned into some hot cougars.

they look just as I remember them

I kind of wish they'd have made the names hidden so you could guess who they were.

My initial reaction to most of them was "Oh GOD is THAT -so and so-? Sheeeeeeeeeeeit time has not been kind..."

It is really something to see one's youth now old... this must be how our parents felt.

David Bowie looks better now than in the 80's.

I graduated high school in 1988.

I couldn't stand 99% of that English bullshit then or now. Fucking synthesizers and Simmons drum kits.

I'll keep Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar for the win. The rest in the list

They forgot Nena, they got her backup, but not her...

So.... no Phil Collins for you?

I think you just have to take it as part of the times and the scene.

Holy Crap! these are his sons! (2015 pic)

I've spent the last 35 years imagining doing despicable things with Belinda Carlisle.

You just know she would be up for the "cocaine off the ass thing".

Cherie Currie and Lita Ford

I graduated in 1986 and I don't recognize over half the "bands" on that page.

One of the comments said that Kate Bush needed to go "running up that hill" a bit more.

So snarky (considering I myself could also stand to go running up a few hills) but funny!

It is sad to see all those "cool kids" and former hotties and hunks of my own heyday showing their age, but makes me laugh for what those annoying twits of today (Beiber and Miley, anyone?) have coming round the corner for them! Time is a right bastard, and will roll over them hard.

I may or may not have a lot of albums by a lot of those bands. Some of their best stuff came out after their hits went away.

On a side note, most continue to tour and do small venues. You could be sitting right next to them before they go up on stage- like The Church.

He'll never die.

Also: It's a bit strange calling him a "New Wave 80's artist".

It's interesting that they list him as "Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats". It should read "Bob Geldof, organizer of Live Aid", because nobody had a fucking clue who he or is band was, prior to that.

Also: If he dyed his hair black, he'd barely look 10 years older than he did in 1985.

Some of those folks have no business being pigeon-holed as 80's anything.

Some of those pictures are prime examples to not do drugs.

Damn I miss the 80's and I was just a youngin then.

These kinds of articles are always more interesting if they have "before" pictures, so you can compare without having to go to google.

True, but it's what the chicks liked, so you either listened to it, or stayed away from chicks. Some of it grew on you.

Weird!

The GoGo’s and the Bannarama are still pretty hot.

The gay’s looked to hold up better and not age as bad.

Old men in T shirts look pathetic. Growing up with these bands and realizing they are all about my dad’s age is strange. It’s amazing how a suit jacket/sports coat can change the way I see an old guy.

Peter Wolf?

Lou Gramm?
