My vote's on Nick Cave, since I've enjoyed his work with Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds.

I went Morrisey, though I prefer Joy Division as a band from that list, I think Morrisey is a better front man.

Yeah I went Morrissey, rating on best frontman.
But such a hard choice and a really great, solid list of performers.
I'm surprised Annie Lennox is in here, I really love her too.

The Smiths may have been gloomy but they werent challenging or new music wise like PIL or Joy Division. The only song by them that could be considered post punk by them is How Soon Is Now, is what I think.

This one is tough. It's about a 4 or 5 way tie right now for me.
