I knew we'd hit some classification snags, I was just
thinking of British acts some of my friends were into
in the mid-late 80s (high school/early college years
for me).   Bob Smith was a Banshee, so there are some
definite ties among some of those groups. 
I never really listened to much Teardrop Explodes, I'm
not a big P Furs fan either, but they both have their
merits.  Can I toss in the Monochrome Set though?  The
Lester Square-era stuff is great (plus there's an Adam
and the Ants/Bow Wow Wow tie-in).

Hmm, now Youth Brigade is more of a typical 80s band
that I used to listen to, even though I never had
their album.  I'd probably give it a listen if I heard
it today, but it wouldn't make it into medium rotation.
