This is a tough question, In general I would probably agree Jason2, most people would likely choose these four...

New Order
The Smiths
The Cure
Depeche Mode

Although I might substitute The Smith and The Cure for David Bowie and Roxy Music.

On the other hand MY Personal favorite TOP 4 are very different. They are as follows...

A Flock Of Seagulls
Alphaville
Spoons
Til Tuesday

Honorable mention to New Order, Echo and The Bunnymen and The Pet Shop Boys [:)]

I think the original question asks to pick 4 representatives of the NW era to be on Mount Rushmore, not 4 groups. New Order is a great group but no individual in it is famous enough or larger than life enough to be considered. The Smiths has Morrissey who's idolized around the world, so he would be a good choice for this.
