Ha! Ha! Ha! These New Wave polls are about to get a whole lot better with Ultravox' Vienna and debut albums from China Crisis, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Human League, OMD, Spandau Ballet, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, and many others to look forward to.  Thumbs Up

When you know, you don't like some music, why not just keep away from it?

You're right about that, having just listened to the debut album by Public Image Ltd from 1978, which not coincidentally, also features Johnny Rotten making an even worse racket than the Sex Pistols.. Ouch Thumbs Down

They're the best band here but they really took off with their next album All Mod Cons, so it's between Mr Dury and Talking Heads  for me.
Thanks! I don't know where my head was at. I must have had the Weekend on my mind at the time. Embarrassed

I've encountered much bigger jokes here just this week. Breaking Glass, What In The World, Sound And Vision, Always Crashing In The Same Car, Be My Wife... all have that approach to rock that I associate with New Wave. Or really, what was to become known as New Wave. I don't think there many New Wave/Post-Punk bands not inspired by his so called Bowie Trilogy.

Don't worry. The punk image of The Queen was enough to put me off, without listening to the godawful racket on the video too. Thumbs Down 

Actually, it was the queen image and the lyrics that could worry me on your behalf, but we just look very differently on the whole matter here, as I find this song as one of the very best Rock depictions of some social conditions and reactions to them.

As Silly Puppy says though, it was the quintessential punk album of the era, so I couldn't very well leave it out of the poll, much as I would've liked to. Ouch

What are you saying?!! Great music!! Big smile



Agreed! The quintessential anarcho-punk album of the ages. Although punk was considered new wave at the time, these days it's not so i wouldn't include it on this poll.

For anyone interested i recently updated my New Wave list on RYM and added HUNDREDS of new artists. It's possibly the most comprehensive list on the entire interweb.
