Intanto sono 50 artisti. 50 artisti/gruppi d'estrazione post punk/new wave/elettronica e dintorni.

    With a few adjustments, it could also be mine (remove the Virgin Prunes, later the Feelies and Throbbing Gristle, add Wilder for the Teardrop and not much else).

    I would also include the very Italian pankow: LET ME BE STALIIIIN! I don’t know if it fits the cold wave, but I think it does. I would also put in the French norma loy (although they don’t really say much to me...) Ah, in the garage ranking I want to see the not moving!

      Norma Loy...great. I know them, yes, but (by preference) I had to rule out some bigger names like Ultravox, so they couldn't make it into the top 50. Furthermore, I limited myself to the United States/England, without drifting too much. That garage will come, but it won't be next -;)

    I'll take notes if you don't mind... There are 5 or 6 groups I've never listened to.
