A list has been compiled of 1980s rock bands that failed to live up to their hype, with one outlet suggesting 11 such bands and another proposing 25 bands from the same era that should have achieved greater success. The topic appears to be related to rock bands from the 1980s, although some reports also mention bands from the 1990s and individual musicians experiencing personal struggles. It is unclear how these various reports are connected, as they cover a range of topics including musician health issues and youtube video views.
