Favorite other bands

[Wild_Heart03]

First and foremost for me would have to be Duran Duran. I've been a big fan for a couple years now, they're just such an awesome band.

Other bands I love:

Depeche Mode
Pat Benatar
Heart
The Bangles
Ace Of Base (yes, extra gay I know )

[Hippocampus]

The Blue Oyster Cult. There could be others to be listed of course but they don't even come close. The Cult rules and remember, don't fear the reaper.

As for the rest of the list, all I can say is there's a lot of what Dwight Macdonald called "midcult" on it.

O.K. I'll admit to The Osmonds....
