Slang An ampoule of amyl nitrite or butyl nitrite, used illicitly to induce euphoria and enhance sexual stimulation.

I doubt the user who asked about "poppers" had that in mind. Confused

I don't think I liked anything that was called 'New Wave' that much. The original British punk scene was interesting because it had so much energy. At the time (1977) this was The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Stranglers, The Jam, The Motors, The Clash (what was all this having to have 'The' before the name?!) etc. Then a bunch of other stuff surfaced that was supposedly more interesting but generally not. I liked some of the electronic bands that came out between 1980 and 1983 (OMD, Gary Numan, Visage) Ultravox started out earlier with John Foxx so can't count them. 
Virtually the only albums I purchased that could possibly be included were Tubeway Army - Replicas and Simple Minds - Sparkle In The Rain (both really good). At the time I was busy collecting classic prog albums so didn't spare much thought for a lot of this stuff. Always thought that IQ's first 2 albums had a bit of a punk meets prog feel to them and some of the guys in the band were sporting a punk influenced spikey hair look!

Ultravox - Quartet (nothing as better than the song Vienna but as an album I prefer this one)
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream
Buggles - Age of Plastic
China Crisis - Flaunt the Imperfection
Joy Division - Closer
Red Box - The Circle and the Square
Thompson Twins - Into The Gap
Greg Kihn - Next of Kihn
Prefab Sprout - Two Wheels Good
Ian Gomm - Gomm with the Wind
I agree, these Synth/Electro Pop bands got lumped in with the new wave genre at first. It wasn't till a little later there seemed to be a concerted effort to give them their own space.
