Bangles or Buggles: An Important Musical Survey

A world where I can sensibly ask the question, "Which is better, The Bangles or The Buggles?" can't be all bad.

For those of you still in diapers, The Bangles sang "Walk Like a Egyptian." The Buggles sang "Video Killed the Radio Star." The latter was the first music video ever shown on MTV. This was back when MTV showed music videos at all.

I shall now conduct a poll. Please help me get started on my new project, which is to bubble sort all musical talent.

Each question begins with the words "Which is better...." You've probably heard many more groups than you recognize. Wikipedia will help. Reply with your answers.
