I like your chart !!! Thank you for refreshing my distant memory on
The Bauhaus .... I saw peter Murphy when he was traveling solo,
And enjoyed the concert with my girlfriend .
Also, I checked out "dead can dance" for the 1st time...very unique duo.

Really interesting chart. Own 51 of these so it was pretty much going to get a high score.
