80,s new romantic/ alternate bands
A few Indie ones:
Cocteau Twins (still my fave), Jesus & Mary Chain, New Model Army, Sisters of Mercy, Shop Assistants.
Oh and also Einsturzende Neubauten (sounds very pretentious and was really a heap of $hite noise), Zodiac Mindwarp and the wonderful Sigue Sigue Sputink.

Incredible 
Never before have I seen such a list of crap bands
You guys still wearing frilly collars and cuffs and back-combing your hair ?
PS with exception to Bauhaus and Echo & the Bunnymen

Saw them about 2 months ago in concert and they're still brilliant
Off to see them again on March 19th

Half the bands mentioned were no away New Romantic. Does serve to remind what a dire era it was though.
What a relief when the black Guys finally started getting hold of electronic instruments and began creating truely exciting new music.
