My vote's on Nick Cave, since I've enjoyed his work with Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds.

I went Morrisey, though I prefer Joy Division as a band from that list, I think Morrisey is a better front man.

Yeah I went Morrissey, rating on best frontman.
But such a hard choice and a really great, solid list of performers.
I'm surprised Annie Lennox is in here, I really love her too.

The Smiths may have been gloomy but they werent challenging or new music wise like PIL or Joy Division. The only song by them that could be considered post punk by them is How Soon Is Now, is what I think.

Fine, but to me its like saying "Indie is this"

Well isnt that what post punk was about? Being challenging?

You forgot Jim & Will Reid (of JAMC).

to a large degree but not entirely
which I think i covered in my other examples.

I dont know how to add them
if someone wants to
go ahead

I just dont want to have to choose between Moz and Ian Curtis. :(

This one is tough. It's about a 4 or 5 way tie right now for me.
