My votes:

Sisters of Mercy, the Sisterhood, the Damned, the The, Cassandra Complex,
Doc Tahri, some Devo, Trans-x, any very heavy metal (Motorhead, Judas
Priest, etc), some Kraftwerk, any real punk (Dead Boys, etc).

Basically any kind of music can be considered cyberpunk (within
reason, no Donny & Marie); whether or not it is cyberpunk will depend
on the attitude of the listener.  Cyberpunk is: being a techno-loner
without being a techno-nerd, complete acceptence of technology (the
exact opposite of say Future Shock), ... I could go on.  I have my
own personal views on this, I guess.
