    Yeah probably me too. I was more of a shoe gazer. Cure, Smiths, The The etc.
    But now that I'm older I appreciate the cheese for the happy boppy tunes they were :D

    Some Cure. Definitely The Smiths and The The. Loved (still do) New Order. Some random acts from the 80s (with an eye on the charts): Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, Suzanne Vega, Frankie goes To Hollywood (some of their stuff anyway), Imagination, The Cult, The Mission and ....wait for it: Johnny Hates Jazz!

    Depeche Mode for sure and, like New Order, I did not stop at the 1980s. Echo & The Bunnymen had a few gems too.

    Neil Hole in My Shoe. I actually bought this. I was very drunk at the time. So drunk that straight after my friend and I went to see Beverly Hills Cop and I struggled to understand the plot. :D. Oh, and this all happened at about 2 in the afternoon. Sometimes afternoon drinking can really get out of hand!
