Favorate band growing up

Eagles
Boston
38 Special
Moody Blues
Foreigner
Styx
Journey
REO

I second that list, and would add:
Duran-Duran (come one, they were cool back in the day)
Hall & Oates
Police
Beatles
Early Rod Stewart
Huey Louis - Only group I saw twice. First time was accidentally in 1983 in Albany, GA, and they opened for 38 Special. 1.5 years later, they were headlining in Atlanta after Sports came out!

Nowadays, it's all Contemporary Christian, with excellent groups like:
Aaron Shust
Sons of Korah
Relient K
Caedmon's Call
