So, how about that New Wave/New Romantic? I'm just getting into the pure '80s-ness that are the new wave and new romantic genres. What are your favorite bands/songs from the movement? | |

Howard Jones You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Souxie and the Banshees were post punk, not new wave. | |

They put out way to much work to be stuck in only one category, there was plenty of new wave in their sound. 2012: The Queen Returns | |

To me, just hearing their early material, they were one of the most punkiest of the post-punk/new wave bands. Plus Siouxsie was already a legend in punk rock culture prior to the Banshees' debut. | |

Duran Duran, Devo....
Actually, I like all those dudes with the make-up, triangle haircuts and the futuristic synth sounds. It was like music from another planet when I was growing up. | |

New Wave was great genre -movement in music. It brought new generation of artist and even better made those who sounded slick to sound more Raw. everybody was raw during New Wave even Sister Sledge | |

Visage are hands down my fave new wave/synth pop act. Nice to see themget a mention. I also love Human League, ABC and i'm currently listening to White Feathers by Kajagoogoo, Kissing to be clever by Culture Club and Final! by Wham. Yes, i know they are mostly pop but they have new wave moments in their music too. I'll have to think of more bands. Great thread! | |
