Sisters of Mercy! My signature song was "MaryAnn" (my real name). I loved Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxie and the Banshies. You just brought the early 80's back to me--what a blast. You are right of course--there is a website; I think its called Conservative Punk Rockers or something like that, I googled it once and it was pretty cool. Anyway, it is a myth that all conservatives only listen to country or "classic" rock. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Joy Division were ace. "Love will tear us apart" is one of the greatest songs ever. Only liking one type of music is akin to only liking one type of food. How boring life would be without variety. Many "leaders" from religious, political and economic fields have tried to impose their own personal idiosyncracies and preferences upon their subjects thus the closed group-think, paralysis conformity of many sects. There was a certain brilliant anarchism to much of the early eighties British music.
