Just the 1980s? I can't think of s single mainstream, popular, black fronted rock band of the 2000s, period. And only a handful from the 1990s. Its insane how when guitar oriented music from 1920s-1950s was dominated by genius black guitarists and song writers, that since the 1980s Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and HR are about it. Honorable mention to Fishbone but I'm from LA where there from, so they may not have actually had as much reach or influence as they did here where they're a household name from anybody from the 1990s..
