I think it should be alphabetized so it doesn't look like The Cure is the number one band of the 80s band even before we begin. Also if the "ordered list" is used ([LIST=1 ][/LIST ] ) it would make it easier if to add or subtract bands names, without subsequently change all the following numbers after a name is added/subtracted. (NB Bauhaus taking off the list is only used as an example.)

list with Bauhaus
  1. Bauhaus
  2. Birthday Party
