A few Indie ones:
Cocteau Twins (still my fave), Jesus & Mary Chain, New Model Army, Sisters of Mercy, Shop Assistants.
Oh and also Einsturzende Neubauten (sounds very pretentious and was really a heap of $hite noise), Zodiac Mindwarp and the wonderful Sigue Sigue Sputink.

TOTALLY agree Alas
Can't believe no one mentioned them either!
Saw them about 2 months ago in concert and they're still brilliant
Off to see them again on March 19th

Incredible 
Never before have I seen such a list of crap bands
You guys still wearing frilly collars and cuffs and back-combing your hair ?
PS with exception to Bauhaus and Echo & the Bunnymen

Half the bands mentioned were no away New Romantic. Does serve to remind what a dire era it was though.
What a relief when the black Guys finally started getting hold of electronic instruments and began creating truely exciting new music.

Why not,
it sure as hell is better than going to see someone like slipknot or mcfly
i never saw the HL until 2 years a go, likewise blondie, both were superb concerts, btw
its each there own, the 80,s was a definitive part of my growing up, so i like the music that goes with it
