Pere Ubu, The Only Ones, Magazine, Replacements, Dead Kennedy's, Ultravox, Kraftwerk, PIL, David Sylvian, Specials, TSOL, DOA, The Tubes (world tour) Stranglers, Lydia Lunch, Cocteau Twins, Nick Cave and the Birthday Party etc. Lord knows how many I've forgotten. Adam Ant maybe...snort.
Bands from the 70's...too many, everybody.
I would love to have seen most of those bands live! Some memorable shows I've attended: Buzzcocks, Bu**hole Surfers, the Descendants, Van Morisson, Dave Brubeck, Bad Brains, Leon Redbone, Morrissey, Elvis Costello, the B-52s...

I think the Dolls are on tour again, though I haven't heard the new album yet but I did enjoy One Day it Will Please us to Remember Even This.
