New Wave

[paperdollorphan]

I see quite a bit of people on here are into 70's and 80's rock, which i have no problem with. But are there any 80's new wave fans on here? i listen to a wide range of music but this is one of my faves not mentioned. Some of my fave new wave bands are new order, depeche mode, alphaville.......

Like you, I like so many genres of music it is hard to name favorites.  New Wave/Post Punk is tough because it is so broad a term.  The bands you mention are great.  This brings back memories of listening to the great WLIR 92.7 back in the 80s!!  Other new wave bands I like;

Echo and the Bunnymen
Duran Duran
Psychedelic Furs
Talk Talk
Jesus and Mary Chain
The Plimsouls
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Gene Loves Jezebel
