80's alternative survivor

sidewinder · 05-30-2014, 12:28 AM

Can't believe Public Image Ltd beat out The Smiths. Can't believe Killing Joke beat out The Smiths. Can't believe The Cure beat out The Smiths. I can't believe most of these beat out The Smiths. Happy and surprised that Skinny Puppy is still on the list. Anyway I'm voting off the following:

The Cramps
Gang of Four
Joy Division
Public Image

I'm surprised but delighted since all three of those bands are a lot better than The Smiths.

Would Radiohead count? I heard they are gonna record an album soon

**Frownland** · 05-30-2014, 10:32 AM

Pixies
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Joy Division
Skinny Puppy

It hurts me to put Skinny Puppy on the list, but I like the other bands on the list more than them. I'd like to see PIL take first, I saw them live a couple of years ago and they were incredible.

Radiohead's eighties albums are their best in my opinion.

You and me both, I'm not sure who will knock off the Cure now? I thought both the Smiths, Bauhaus & the Pogues would go to the end, but anyways...

Final Tally:

Joy division 6, Gang of Four 6, Pixies 5, The Cramps 4, Ministry 3, Skinny Puppy 3, Killing Joke 2, Siouxie & the Banshees 2, Public Image 2

All right the Gang of Four are no more, and know more unknown pleasures for Joy Division, they're both out!

Preliminary: The Cult, The Pogues, Cocteau Twins, Birthday Party, Dead Can Dance, Chameleons

20. Dead Milkman, 19, Mission of Burma 18, Echo & the Bunnymen, 17, Jesus & Mary Chain, 16. Sisters of Mercy, 15, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds 14. Sonic Youth, 13. Bauhaus 12. Violent Femmes, 11. The Smiths, 10. Joy Division, 9. Gang of Four

1. The Cure
2. The Cramps
3. Killing Joke
4. Ministry
5. Pixies
6. Public Image
7. Siouxie and the Banshees
8. Skinny Puppy

Last round to pick 4 votes close Sunday night pacific time provided there are at least 5 votes. Please be respectful of other peoples choices.

This is getting way too painful. Just noticed Siouxsie is spelled wrong in the list by the way, just in time to vote against a band I love.

The Cramps
Pixies
Public Image
Siouxsie and the Banshees
