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

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!

yes to all of them with the exception of suzanne vega i think. also I'll add Depeche mode, echo and the bunnymen... the list goes on... ah brings me back to that disco that was on in the place at the top of Parnell Square? Name escapes me. Friday night was indie night. Sorry i digress

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. . Oh, and this all happened at about 2 in the afternoon. Sometimes afternoon drinking can really get out of hand!
