Midnight Oil are rockers (rockers with post-punk and progressive qualities, while also having music that is very direct). Not surprisingly, since this is Prog Archives lots of us have a strong interest in classification. It's been said before that talking and arguing genre classification is our forums lifeblood.

I had not noticed that Paul only gave it two stars, I'm actually rather surprised despite the fact that he tends to rate low that which I like. It probably is those punky, aggressive vocals, which are not universes apart from Tim Smith of Cardiacs. A reason why I thought of Cardiacs above.

You're right. I've been burning the midnight oil compiling these New Wave polls, but I really wish I hadn't included Midnight Oil, as those punky aggressive vocals aren't my cup of tea at all. 
I probably shouldn't be too surprised that Midnight Oil are currently leading the poll though. Smile

Only familiar with the Depeche Mode and Cars albums. Voted Depeche Mode.

Suzanne Vega isn't New Wave to me either, but Google seems to think she is. Smile

Not New Wave

Sting (Pop Rock)
Suzanne Vega (Folk Rock, Folk Pop)
Sisters of Mercy (Gothic Rock)

Midnight Oil for me. Also questionably new wave but many consider it so for it's pop hooks / punk attititude

Yeah, this is between Suzanne Vega, Depeche Mode, Midnight Oil for me. Even T'Pau has some great songs, as there are many other good songs to be found on most of these albums listed. Toss-up between the first three...

Floodland gets my vote. Love that album. Music For the Masses is is a classic too. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is mostly wonderful, but a little bloated. Love that Siouxsie-covers album too actually.

I voted for The Go-Betweens - Tallulah.

A wonderful band, 'Streets Of Your Town' is one of my favourite singles, and should have been a massive hit in the UK, but unfortunately it wasn't. Smile

Alphabet City is a masterful work, great at everything (songs, production, playing) ....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Depeche Mode with some Music for the Masses, and when it comes to the very best  Synth-Pop, they've never let me down yet. Smile

I love Icehouse. The 'Primitive Man' album is superb! (The first album is very decent as well). Smile

I only discovered today that Icehouse are an Australian band. I'd always assumed they were a Scandinavian band, but maybe that had something to do with their chilly name. Smile

Primitive man features their biggest hit ' hey little girl',
even though they recorded more than half a dozen albums, this song made them a one hit wonder
