I enjoyed the best of Simple Minds but didn't enjoy the cd 'Sons and Fascination'.

A band called Television (their album 'Marquee Moon' always makes the 'greatest albums of all time' lists) and early B-52's (check out 'Rock Lobster')

Yes, , I saw them in concert two weeks ago in Manchester and last week in Blackpool .You could go out and buy their greatest hits but I would recommend you get these 4 albums Vienna ,Rage In Eden ,Quartet and their latest album Brilliant to get what they are really all about .

Nigel, I don't think your band is a new wave band? Why would you do something like that?

Anyway, Public Image Limited often go hand in hand with a lot of the bands listed above for me. Or even Billy Bragg. It's not so much a musical style you seem to have listed as it is and era! Albeit a very good one!
