While my wife is making out Christmas cards, I get to do this....I tried, but I went to 25, then got annoyed because I left off alot more... went to 30! Oh well, here it is... at the moment.

1. Cocteau Twins - Ivo
2. The Cure - Lament
3. Joy Division - Atmosphere
4. Swans - Can't Find My Way Home
5. Replacements - Within Your Reach
6. Jesus and Mary Chain - Some Candy Talking
7. Cabaret Voltaire - Sensoria (12 incher)
8. Nitzer Ebb - Murderous (it still packs dance floors)
9. Skinny Puppy - Dig It (see above)
10. Coil - The Wheel (search for it, it is well worth the hunt)
11. The Cult - Sanctuary
12. Echo & the Bunnymen - My Kingdom (just for the guitar solo alone!)
13. Jazz Butcher - Angels (hunt down and purchase all of their early stuff)
14. The Fall - Cab It Up!
15. Tones on Tail - Rain
16. Specials - Ghost Town (12 incher)
17. Birthday Party - Kathy's Kisses

27. Shriekback - The Only Thing That Shines
28. Siouxsie - Slowdive
29. Siouxsie - Dazzle
30. Chameleons - Second Skin

OK, OK I understand it is 10, I will stop now... but I was only getting started (Husker, Sisters, Killing Joke, Rev CO, Comsat, Sonic Youth, Adam Ant, OMD, ACR, The The, Simple Minds, Damned, X, Bad Brains, Fear, XTC, Chills, English Beat, Madness, Minutemen, Black Flag, GEEZ, it just won't stop!)....
This is why the 80's is superior to any other era in music for me: I mean, are we lucky or what?!?!? Just making a list like this brings a smile to my face! (Pick 10, I can't)... here is my favorite mood music of the times, kinda makes me wonder why I listen to anything past 1990....Oh yeah, and finally my two fave 70's songs of all time:
1. Donovan - Season of the Witch, and
2. Kraftwerk - Autobahn, (don't ask me why!!!!... I just love it!)
