Favorite New Wave Artists/ Groups and Albums? A fan of 80s music, new wave is no exception however I'm not as familiar with the genre as I am with some of the others of the time. Outside of singles, I'm not so knowledgeable about new wave so recommend me some good new wave albums and artists that define the genre. | |

A wide genre, and it depends on your influences, but for me, over a rough 5 year period, the ultimate albums are:
OMD - Architecture and Morality The Human League - Dare Soft Cell - Non Stop Electric Caberet Yazoo - Upstairs at Erics Tears for Fears - The Hurting Depeche Mode - Black Celebration [Edited 12/27/14 18:24pm] . |

. Funny that you should mention Islands, and not the Limahl-fronted White Feathers album, which is what most people first associate Kajagoogoo with. I find the Nick Beggs-led albums are very underrated, and unjustly so; after all, Beggs was always the band's driving force since back when they were called Art Nouveau. I also quite like Crazy People's Right To Speak. . I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |

LOVE "Spring Session M!!!" My only wish is that someone remaster and reissue the 3 Missing Persons CD's that make up their original discography!
