The 80's were a largely exploratory period:

Even though I was introduced to Zydeco as a child, I didn't start exploring it until the 80's...Clifton Chenier, Nathan and The Zydeco Cha Cha's, Stanley Dural Jr. (A.k.a. Buckwheat Zydeco), Rosie Ledet...many more.

And then there was the other stuff:

Adrian Belew and King Crimson,

Shadowfax

Tom Coster

Three of my favorite Jean Luc Ponty albums were released in the 80's

and then there were The Smiths, Minutemen and Marshall Crenshaw
