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
  3. Chameleons UK (added)
  4. Cocteau Twins (added)

Husker Du falls into the same camp, if I open the door to them, than I have to open the door to the Dead Kennedys and the whole world of punk.
I highly disagree with all of this. I don't know why The Dead Milkmen are included if we're trying to exclude Punk Rock. But it's your game so cool

I'm just not that into Goth. I can appreciate some Bauhaus but I could never really dig Sisters of Mercy. Such an awful band name too.
