I went with robert smith, but it was a really hard choice and would probably change day by day
between him, curtis, morissey and Mark e smith

The Smiths post punk?

FireInCairo 11-14-2008 05:21 AM

formed in 1982, share a sense of literate gloom and melancholy with many of these bands
if the chameleons and echo and the bunnymen are they are.

Is that what post-punk is? Got no idea :p:

BUT Cave was on the list, so automatic vote there... :D

Its a pretty broad genre really......

Elvis Costello for me, 'cos I'm just that predictable :D Tough call on a list featuring Mark E. Smith, Nick Cave and David Byrne though
