Wow...you are spot on here.
Looking back on 1987, it truly was a great year for music, and for me personally.

A turning point in my tastes. From just hard rock/metal to my first forays into alternative, like The Cure, Smiths, New Order, The Cult among others.

Me too. I graduated from high school in '87. We always listened to classic rock and metal in high school. Beatles, Who. Zeppelin, Doors, Ozzy, Ac/Dc, etc.

After I graduated, I started branching out a little. The Cult was my "gateway" band. They were still kind of metal (talking about Electric) but they also had their alternative side. From there, I started listening to stuff like you described as well as The Replacements, REM, U2 and all the other great artists mentioned in the OP.
