I love The Cult. Here's a fun fact: After their album "Love" (with the hit "She Sells Sanctuary"), they were most of the way through recording a followup in the same style called "Peace," when they changed producers; the new one ditched all the tracks they had recorded, and walked them through re-recordings in a more stripped-down style that ended up as their album "Electric." Now there's an edition out there called "Electric Peace," which pairs the released album with the earlier version of the tracks in the richer style they used for "Love." I actually like all of the jettisoned "Peace" tracks more than the "Electric" versions, except for "Wildflower" (the earlier version obscured the defining guitar riff).
Suggested bands: Try Marillion, especially the 1989 "Seasons End" album. It's the permanent resident in my car's CD player.
