Some good choices. Good to see the Cure, the Smiths and Bauhaus. Would have been nice to have some more cheesy 80s pop too.

Lots of outstanding choices here. Love the obvious ones (Doolittle, Remain in Light) as well as the less obvious ones (Jeopardy, Stands for Decibels). This shows a lot of knowledge--thanks for sharing it!
