Nope - Big Country until 2002 , after that Casbah Club, now Four Good Men.

Also mentions for U2, Simple Minds (both before they got arty/up themselves), and the Alarm.

Alarm Rod? the only award they would be up for is the ugliest fecking band in the world but would be cruelly pipped by a Flock of Seagulls.

- Great Live Band, also recently managed to piss off the current Music Industry by having a video done of one of their new songs with young actors playing the band - straight into the charts.

1980's: New Order -tho The Stone Roses and The Smiths would come close)

1990's: Oasis -This is a nostalgic pick as when i was growing it was true, i think stuff like Radiohead, Pulp many other bands i prefer to listen to now.

2000's: Doves- Not a common choice but i really like all 3 of their albums.

since Operation mindcrime was released in 1988 the 80's would have to be Queensryche
90's very Easy; Dream Theater
