I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record!
Oh, yeah? Well, don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?

Solid list. I'd add Descendents, Minutemen, Husker Du, and Replacements.
Surprised to see you've heard Agent Orange. I'm assuming you haven't always been ECRC adjacent? Or maybe they got bigger than I thought?
Here's a video they shot at my aunt & uncle's skatepark in Upland.

I'll throw one out there that I was listening to yesterday. One of the most underrated albums and bands from the 80's. Boingo Alive

Recorded live but not with an audience. Great sound and great songs from 1988."Great barbecue makes you want to slap your granny up the side of her head." - Southern Saying

Fishbone.. Jim Carroll Band (More late 70s but still relevant early 80s)
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Oakwood Lake was great. Looked it up about 10 years ago and it's condos now.
A few Cow Palace shows I remember: Rush 3/14/80, Ted Nugent & Scorpions 5/23/80, Ozzy w/RR 12/30/81
Plenty of great shows over in Oakland too (not even including the DotG). Cheap Trick & Pat Travers 12/27/79, Foreigner/Rick Derringer/April Wine 1/11/80, Van Halen 10/9/80"The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."

Saw the Screaming Trees at the Depot in Anacortes, WA in 1986 tripping on acid. Very formative experience

They got bigger than you thought. If there were skaters, there was Agent Orange. They are still around and playing in Burlington this fall.
Along those lines of skate bands the 80’s also brought us taxi driver, John Hinckley, and Jody Fosters Army.
Between you and Riser, that’s a pretty good list of great 80’s music. Add in all the other examples and one can see why the 80’s were amazing for music.

Danny Elfman is a weird dude
Which reminds me of back to school.
You young punks need to watch it.
Caddy shack. Easy money. Back to school.
Rodney was a comic genius.

The 80s Rule
I grew up in Upland and spent a lot of time in the pre80s at the Pipeline. But the mid 80s it had already kinda fallen out of favor and got bulldozed right before skateboarding really took off in the 90s. Went to school in Claremont, but don’t recall bands ever playing at the pipeline - Cool find
Ted - super cool your aunt and uncle started it. Visionary! In 85 , I was hitchhiking in France and got picked up by some surfers who were ecstatic to meet someone that skated at Le Pipeline. I sent them some stickers when I got home and still trade postcards w them occasionally

The '80's was chock full of absolute garbage as well. But the decade that gave us, objectively, the top 100 worst one-hit wonders of all time, also gave us five bajillion thrash bands with at least one good song.

Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

The first album I bought with my own money.
Yes these guys on their '86 tour.
MTV was actually culturally relevant, Yo MTV Raps, Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes, add in Night Flight on USA channel and you had a party on a Saturday night.

I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Only thing I see mentioned a lot here that I didn't really get in to and don't own any of is Pixies. No particular reason other than haven't listened to them enough.
