[ultradave]

well, since everyone isn't sticking to one tune - these are my top choice for the era...

it's a mug's game - soft cell

joy division - love will tear us apart

bauhaus - burning from the inside album

depeche mode - black celebration album

the cure - pornography, head on the door, and disintergration albums

love and rockets - earth, sun, moon

new order - substance album

every smiths album

and of cousre - morrissey's viva hate


... and this is just the tip of the iceberg...
