yeah, I still tend to watch Letterman at the beginning and switch back and forth. I've just been getting lackadaisical of the fluff they've been putting on Letterman

there's a church I drive by most days with a sign out front that says something like that church is the place where YOU are important. 
I find that sorta disgusting, the idea that a church should "market" themselves to you with statements like that. Oops bet this might get moved.

I wasn't saved either and am a little younger born in '72), but I was more into hard rock than new wave. Of those I really liked 'Til Tuesday and still like Aimee Mann today, even though she doesn't really have much hope in her lyrics. I liked the hits of the others OK.
One of the first things I remember listening to on the radio and liking (after I got my own radio) was Blondie's The Tide Is High.
My first cassette I bought was Def Leppard's Pyromania (had a number of 45 singles before then, though).

That's not what you thought? lol. No one likes a smart a$$.
Funny thing is my taste in music got much more extreme after becoming a Christian. I was listening to the Lead, the Crucified, Vengeance and all the hard punk/thrash stuff after getting saved, whereas I've never listened to anything secular along those lines. Probably just as well.
My "secular" tastes always ran toward electro-pop, new-wave and such. Basically anyone with an unusual hairstyle and eccentric outfits and I was there. Had to be a good singer though... as I think all four of those were/are. Still a soft spot for Annie Lennox and Grace Jones too, though I saw Grace play at a nightclub here in Detroit a few years ago, and she was absolutely insane.
Around the 90's my tastes evolved from metal and new wave to techno and blues. It was all Moby, the Prodigy, BB King and Albert Collins by then. Odd how my favorites always seem to be wildly contrasting.
Ah, well...
