This probably isn't the thread on which to admit that I really like More Than A Feeling, then? 
Additionally, I'd like to nominate Rage Against The Machine. Great musicians, inventive, and Tom Morello is a superb guitarist.
I know that they probably sold over half their records to middle class kids trying to be "rebellious", but surely one can't deny that De La Rocha has written some great lyrics, and is very well-versed in political theory and the history of North American politics?
Most assuredly a more intelligent band than, say, Limp Bizkit.
Not a fave of me own, but CHIC have gotta be worth a mention given Barney's statement that his geetar style has been heavily influenced by their style. Plus mentions must go to THE STOOGES, IGGY POP and ARTHUR BAKER for the inspiration given to the Order & JD.
Others -
Pixies Sugar Blondie Television Talking Heads Mercury Rev Tom Tom Club REM
Tip for the future : saw an American band, THE RAPTURE at The Garage a few weeks ago, reminiscent of ACR in part & worth looking out for.

ooohh...I had forgotten about RATM....they were very good...
Don't think RATM would be fans of New Order. Remember seeing an interview where they said that keyboards were 'evil' ... They kind of had the attitude that keyboard/synths/computerised music wasn't 'real' music ... What a load of shit !!
Yeah I know .. I don't think they play bad music, just don't agree with them on the keyboard thing !
Common... Are we not forgetting
Eminem, Britney, "Swollen Members", Little Bow Wow, Marilyn Manson, N'Sinc, Back Street Boys, and Celine Dion???
:\puke: Eminem
