A few weeks ago before I wrote a piece with this title I talked about doing a poll. I almost forgot! I did my best not to include anything that might dominate. Despite being shut out of both ILM 80s polls, I think the Chameleons are too well known, as are bands like Associates, Comsat Angels and The Sound. You can hear 13 of the bands in a mix I made linked from the top image found here. Maybe some others can be heard on Spotify? I'm not sure, as I don't subscribe.
Due to the limit to 50, these weren't included: Doll By Doll, Kevin Hewick, The Lotus Eaters, Metal Urbain, Monoton, Necropolis Of Love, Pink Industry, The Prefects, The Scientists, Skids, Spherical Objects and Theoretical Girls.
