Answer 5

Long time no see! I'm still hunting down the best of New Wave so I'll just list a few (in no order):



Skylarking - XTC

Ocean Rain - Echo & the Bunnymen

Power, Corruption & Lies - New Order

Substance - Joy Division

Violator - Depeche Mode

All of this and Nothing - Psychedelic Furs



BA: Depeche Mode! :)

Answer 6

The Cars - The Cars is a Classic, and I guess my favorite new wave band, if that's what they are. I always felt they were hard to pin down as to which style they were. Heartbeat City, Candy-O and even their latest "comeback" Move Like This are all awesome.



I'd rather have a singles mixed tape than to delve too far into some of the new wave band's albums. :)

duran duran - duran duran

the age of consent - bronski beat

Answer 8

I'd definitely add Joe Jackson's Look Sharp to that list. Oh, and I'd also place Roxy Music's Avalon on there, too.

Answer 9

My sister listens to this one radio station. They claim they play "Todays best music," but it sounds like total sh!t. Id hate to hear what todays worst music sound like. My radio station plays "The greatest songs of all time," and its from the 60's 70's and 80's
