I'm so looking foward to this! I'd also like to see what the break down is between synth/dance and punk/postpunk bands. Seems that many of us prefer one over the other.

Very interesting thing I noticed about these lists. U2 is either at the very top of the list or not on one at all! I guess it's one of those bands that you really love or not love at all.

I lost interest when Rattle & Hum came out. My list was in the context of the 80's, so I included them.

I like U2!
I just felt that they were too "rock" for my list.
I tried to stay more New Wave/New Ro.
