Can you name some influential 80s artists that are often overlooked

Sure! Here are seven artists from the '80s that don't always get the spotlight they deserve:

. **The Replacements** - They were a huge influence on alternative rock but often get overshadowed by bigger names.

. **Big Country** - Known for their unique sound with those catchy guitar riffs, but they don't get as much recognition as they should.

. **X** - This punk band from L.A. had a raw energy and great songwriting but often flies under the radar.

. **Squeeze** - With their clever lyrics and catchy tunes, they gave us some great hits but aren't always mentioned in '80s discussions.

. **The Go-Go's** - They were a groundbreaking all-female band, but sometimes people forget just how influential they were in the pop scene.

. **Echo & the Bunnymen** - Their atmospheric sound and poetic lyrics made waves, but they don't always get the credit they deserve.
