4 stars 1984: Ultravox - Lament - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvvxLeS5o24

I was Dancing with Tears in My Eyes listening to this song in 1984, which made me lament wearing tight trousers. Wink

4 stars 1984: Talk Talk - It's My Life - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mBsxzGWIdJgpq1HfikoH8O3tA4mSfhcgg

Talk Talk - It's My Life in the human zoo.. I don't give a flying flamingo for Talk Talk's final album, but this is when they were still a great band, although that's purely a matter of opinion, obviously. Smile

Sparkle In The Rain. Horribly produced like a lot of 80's stuff but Simple Minds would easily have blown any of those other listed bands off the stage given the chance.

4 stars 1984: The Human League - Hysteria - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kY7yDjwh3LFGSOpTqMCPavjcAjp45bawI

When the Hysteria has died down over a previous best-selling album, how do you Dare to follow it up three years later? With this!

I've seen U2 categorised as Post-Punk, Alternative Rock, or even Pop/Rock, but I've never seen U2 listed as New Wave, not even on their earliest albums. Smile

Here they look pretty convincing as a NW band

A new wave of songs from an old poll.... Following a suggestion from Logan in the 1985 New Wave poll, I'll be picking my favourite songs from albums I've rated 4 stars or more, starting with....



I don't have any particular favourites from albums I've rated 3 stars, and in the case of any 2-star albums, it'd be a matter of deciding which songs I dislike the least. Tongue

I'm really surprised to see Talking Heads currently leading the poll, although the results of these polls have stopped making sense to me for some time now. Smile
