Seriously!?? Are you saying you prefer Public Image Ltd to any of the 25 albums in the poll? Shocked

It's not always easy to say this is better than that. There are four or five albums that I really like on the list and it would be up there with those for sure.

By the way I've got to thank you for these polls as I totally didn't have on my radar how good Siouxsie is/was. I heard some of her material at the time but it didn't really click. On relistening this is great stuff.

Soiuxsie was great back in the day, was always one of my favorites of the punk scene (along with The Stranglers) when I wasn't really into that scene at all.

Then, I could definitely recommend their Juju.

Yeah, I listened a bit around in her material yesterday and I think Juju and Scream are the best for me.

My pleasure. You just reminded me to include Siouxsie Sioux's 1979 album in the next New Wave poll. Thumbs Up

The only problem is, I now need to drop one of the following 25 artists from the 1979 poll to make way for Siouxsie & the Banshees "Join Hands" album. Ermm

The B-52's
Blondie
The Boomtown Rats
David Bowie
The Cars
The Clash
Elvis Costello
The Cure
The Damned
Devo
Joe Jackson
The Jam
Japan
Joy Division
Gary Numan
The Police
Pretenders
Simple Minds
Squeeze
The Stranglers
Talking Heads
Toyah
Tubeway Army
The Undertones
XTC

I'd probably drop Bowie from that list, he'd probably distort the voting and everyone already knows he's great.

^ Exactly what I was thinking...

On the other hand, Join Hands isn't really the most outstanding from what I know from Siouxsie and the Banshees. Still, I'd prefer to see that album in a poll than a Bowie album that will attract votes like horse sh*t attracts flies...

The Cars.  
I couldn't understand the ballyhoo surrounding XTC.  Tried many times. 
 Finally, XTC released "Apple Venus Vol. 1" and I liked an entire XTC album.

Maybe also because he was never new wave. Geek

^David Bowie fits nicely into what's normally considered New Wave in the late 1970's-early 1980's. Come on have you listened to Lodger and Scary Monsters? Especially as New Wave is vague and inclusive enough to include elements of just about anything from art-pop/rock, post punk, sophisti-pop, 2 tone/british ska, synthpop, goth rock, power pop, zolo, avant rock/pop, New Romantic etc... it was difficult not to.

maybe, just that I've never seen Bowie classified/tagged as "new-wave". Confused

I feel the same way about XTC too, so I'll drop them from the 1979 poll in favor of Siouxsie & the Banshees. Thumbs Up

RYM has XTC - Drums & Wires as the 3rd best New Wave album of 1979, just saying.

I don't use RYM much (usually when adding an album to a band here on PA, luckily RYM has some info sometimes). So I wouldn't know how RYM tags David Bowie. 

Art-rock and pop-rock, that I have seen and I agree. Smile

I also thought "new wave" meant a new wave of bands. LOL Right?! LOL

^ I think you'll struggle to find a "Greatest New Wave Albums"-sort of list without a David Bowie-album on it (most often it will be Scary Monsters).
