At the risk of being terribly predictable:
True Colours - Split Enz (1980) There are a lot of great Enz albums, but this one's definitely the first one you should get. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

What's the best album to start with from these guys? Remain in Light? No, that one's overrated.  Get the first 3: "'77", "More Songs About Buildings and Food", and "Fear of Music".  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Does this consider "New Wave"?
If not, it sure has traces and hints of 'new wave'. | |
