Covers band: Melody Maker 1980-2000

The start of a very occasional series takes as its key point the obvious and undeniable fact that the list of NME covers on Wikipedia is the very best page on the internet. But why stop there? Why can't we chart the whole of pop culture by rise and fall to standfirst prominence?

As such, here's a list, as much as we could find, of every Melody Maker cover from the start of the Eighties, when it started moving away from news pieces on the front, to its demise. Filling in the gaps is welcomed. And yes, we will do more of these in time.
