Here goes:
Madness - indie
Tears for Fears - art rock
ELO - alt country
Depeche Mode - Electronic
Foo Fighters - alt rock (maybe?)
U2 - rock

Is this all historic bands? I’d love to suggest Royal Blood but I know full well that they don’t have the power of appeal of so many others here.

For other bands, I’d like to suggest:

Air
Linkin Park
The Who
Pink Floyd
Prodigy
Pendulum
Jamiroquai

As a mixed handful.
