I can't get the joke until you fix your snarky link.

The Police, Genesis, Peter Gabriel and U2.

It's not 90's but I gotta say the most influential music in my childhood was the music for the original Sonic the Hedgehog games.

cyndi lauper, the cure, the police, pat benatar, phil collins, to name a few.

Too much to list...

Phil Fearon (Galaxy), Blind Date, Voyage, The Real Thing to name a few.

Electronically it would be bands like Nitzer Ebb, Devo, Front 242, KMFDM, Clan of Xymox, early NIN, New Order and Ministry.

It's eclectic as a result

A bit surprised by the lack of U2 in this thread.
