Well, I'm happy to see Depeche Mode and R.E.M. at reasonably high rankings. The Smiths were rated a bit low. Someone's missing though...;D

Scritti Politti & Ultravox are also great bands.


There's a lot of bands also omitted like New Order, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Kylie Minogue, Nine Inch Nails, Outkast, Busta Rhymes, Jimmy Eat World, Bjork, Naked Eyes, A Flock of Seagulls, Stray Cats, Simple Minds, Pat Benatar, Sheila E, etc.  :)

Edited: One of the bands I mentioned was already on the list.
