Most of these bands formed in the mid-late 1970's (1978 was a REALLY popular year for new-wave/punk/garage startups).

OK, so now you AND John both mentioned Laurie Anderson. I liked that flash in the pan too and saw her at Constitution Hall in DC around 1982. Surprising that you both dropped a relatively obscure name.
"Oh Superman, let x=x ... it's a sky blue sky, the satellites are out tonight. Thanks for showing me your Swiss army knife, I feel like I'm in a burning building."
Next you'll both be mentioning Lene Lovich!
Funkman, I never liked the Cars either. What an overrated band (imo). But then again I was/am a snob and don't like anything played on mainstream radio since the '60s
(At least I admit it.)
