1980s rock was an interesting beast. It was most famously a decade of hair metal excess that dominated MTV and Top 40 radio with corny yet catchy arena-ready singles. But it also was a decade filled with iconic female rockers like Joan Jett and Pat Benetar, synth-rock diversions like Duran Duran and legendary albums by the timeless likes of Prince and Bruce Springsteen.

Well, click on rock fans...
