That's what happens when you hit "Enter" instead of "Tab" after the subject line.
DOH!
Too much tekeela 2nite.
OK, some of my faves:
Depressed Mode, Da Cure, The smiths/Morrissey, New Order (not the JW version),.....
I'll stop there for now.

Sure. Depeche a la Mode, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and the Smiths are among my favorite bands ever. I was also a Durannie in my day. Simple Minds' New Gold Dream is a classic that still remains fresh, just as the Eurythmics' 1984 album is as well. When I think of "modern rock," however, I think also of late '80s type stuff like the Cult, the Church, the Smithereens, the Pixies, Social Distortion, R.E.M., etc. which was all great too.

Not sure what other groups are included in "Modern Rock", (first time I've ever heard this term), but I like a great deal of '80s music, including some of the groups you mentioned.

Me Me Me! Used to listen to a radio station in the SF bay area called "The Quake" that played all that stuff, now it's called "Alice" and it still plays Alternative, listened to it when I went back to visit last year. We don't have anything like it here among the cornfields.

OMG YEAH AO!
MrsJones5- I feel your pain. I gave up on radio years ago. We got radio from the University of Pennsylvania. That's good. The rest sucks. Even the so-called "alternative" stations are nothing of the sort.

Don't forget big hair. Cinderella, Poison, Warrant, Motley Crue, Winger, Bon Jovi, Europe, etc. That was rock and roll of the highest quality.
