p.s. Frank Chickens, I've only *heard* of about three bands on your list. I'm going to try to listen to all those songs with an open mind to edify myself. But really--no Gary Numan, New Order, or The Cure? Not even one? I can barely even get through a week without listening to them.

I did try with Gary Numan when I first started and if he ever got around to writing a second tune, let me know. There's the dull, dreary, droning one, the one that's droning, dreary and dull, the dreary droning dull one, etc.
As for The Cure, it's part of the triumvirate of teenage, studenty wank alongside The Smiths and Morrissey. Robert Smith is a smug arrogant self-important arsehole who think he's god's gift. Ugh, count me out.
For New Order, they're the less talented part of Joy Division and boy doesn't it show and they're not adverse to digging up the corpse of Ian Curtis when it suits them.
