Heart is my favorite 80's band, but I suppose Jon Bon Jovi for rock star!
Hmmm, Bryan Adams.
David Bowie was my fave rock star ever. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.
axl rose..def in the 80's he's too plumpy now ;) raineoc@yahoo.com
I was a wee one in the 80s, so my choice is a little tame (and really a stretch for a "rock star"), but I liked Billy Joel. :)
Definitely Queen. Could still listen to it every day!
David Bowie for sure! I loved him in Labyrinth. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
My favourite is Steven Tyler! and he's still rockin! Love the colours of the fat quarters!

Bruce Springsteen!
Freddie murcury is with out a doubt the most awesomely 80s rock star!
I think I'd have to go with Bon Jovi, LOL!
Eric Clapton. 80's, 90's whenever.
Does Roxette count as an 80s pop star? Because if not, then I'll go with Bananarama. Or possibly the old favourite, Madonna.
...I liked the female singers...
The eighties were Sharon, Lois, and Bram...what can I say, the kids were little, and I was too busy to notice much else.
So many, but I would have to say David Bowie.
Thanks for the chance!!
Duran Duran of course. :) Thank you!
Growing up in New Jersey, it has to be BonJovi. Thank you for the giveaway.

Bruce Springsteen is my favorite. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I was a Bon jovi fan-remember all that hair?!
A-Ha and loved Morten Harket

Isn't Bon Jovi everyone's favorite?! Thanks for the great giveaway chance.

I pretty much listened to anything that was on the radio. I did like Bon Jovi though. :)
I loved Queen and an Aussie singer called John Farnham. He's still going strong (just a little stouter like the rest of us!)
I wan't born until the middle of the 80s! I do like a bit of Bowie though.
I'd have to say Aerosmith - I don't wanna close my eyessssssssssssssssss... Haha. Thanks for the chance to win!
The Police, their acoustic version of Roxanne is still one of the best songs I have ever heard.
Thanks,
Erin

So difficult. I'd have to go with Violent Femmes.
What I remember from the '80s is mostly along the lines of Fred Penner. Some of my favourite rock music is from before then - stuff like Led Zeppelin - because that's what my parents like so I grew up listening to it.

I was born mid 80's so can't say I remember much and I listen to all types of music so honestly I don't have a favorite!
Well 80's Rock Star - The Clash, XTC I guess I'm thinking more groups than big solo star - ooh maybe David Bowie.
Joe Walsh
I loved Journey and Sting!

There was a couple songs by Cinderella that I loved back then. I forgot about it! I will have to try and remember the songs.
Love Neil Diamond.
Fave is Duran Duran!!
Does it have to be real? The first one I thought of is Jem and the Holograms! Remember that show??
I'm not really a music person. I liked a lot of rap in the 80's, still do. I guess my favorite artist from the 80's who I still love is Weird Al :)
The Boss! Just had a chance to see him live and he was fabulous!
Golly, I wasn't aware of music enough in the 80s to have a favorite rock star! In the 90s, though, I adored Smashing Pumpkins. :) Thanks for the chance to win!

Tiffany! Who didn't love her?
That would have to be the delicious Mr. Bon Jovi, of course. Thanks for the opportunity.
so many, but Kim Mitchell comes to mind pretty quickly !
I thought I had better inject some female glam into the mix - how about Annie Lennox?
Don't know that I have a favorite. I like bits and pieces from various artists; U2, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Sting...
Aerosmith!
Hmmmm, does Madonna count? She was always one of my faves
Wow, so hard to choose from all the big hair bands in the 80s. So I guess I'd have to go with Brett Michaels from Poison. And I loved it when he came back with the reality show Rock of Love. So horrible, but so entertaining. Lol.
chancyf (at) gmail (d0t) com
Oh, that was so fun to read everyone's answers! I was a die hard Smiths fan, with the Violet Femmes coming in a close second. I'm not sure they are really what you mean by '80s rock', but that's what it was.
I liked Cindy Lauper!
