OK, we all know that the 80's reigned supreme...

but you did like something in the 90's, I hope. What was it? I'd love to know what fellow new wave fans listened to.

Top 5 rules: there are no wrong answers, and you can change your list daily if needed.....

Mine (in no order):

My Bloody Valentine: Soon
Liz Phair: Divorce Song
Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock
Underworld: Born Slippy
Lemonheads: It's a Shame about Ray

oh, that list is changing as I type this....
