Let’s see:

The Cure - a thousand line-up changes since then, but still going strong. Last saw them in 2000, and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to.

The Smiths - disbanded while I was still in school. Morrissey still a pretentious prick.

Depeche Mode - lost Alan Wilder, still on the road and making albums, though I’ve lost interest in the new stuff around 1995.

U2 - still active in the original line-up. Last good album was Zooropa, then they lost me. Bono still a pretentious prick.
