That's pretty mind-boggling. I'm going to need to get a real job.

OK - you had me at "Martha And The Muffins - Delicate (Muffin Music)" - didn't see anything after that - they seriously need to cash in on the ongoing 80's revival.

Great list - complete with a few bands I don't recognize as well - not a bad start for a new decade and year.
