Sonic Youth
R.E.M.
Camper Van Beethoven
Pavement
Pylon
Prince and the Revolution
Mudhoney
Brad Mehldau Trio
Nirvana
oops
The Replacements

Laurie Anderson is not "a band," so she wasn't included.
Even though they became known in the '80s primarily, Talking Heads, The Cars, Devo, & Kate Bush (edit: oops...not American nor "a band") were first recorded in the late seventies before 1981, so I guess they are not eligible, and Richard Hell & the Voidoids were a few years even earlier even though they became known, to most people, in the '80s as well. Tom Waits' Heart Attack & Vine was released in 1980.

I'm fairly sure I'm making an unintentional gross omission or two.
