Tom Backyard Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Good topic. Funny you should bring it up. The timing is really a coincidence since I’ll be starting a radio show next Sunday on WIOX FM Roxbury (a community radio station in the Catskills, where I live). It’s called The Spirit of Radio: Reagan to Clinton. It’s a retrospective of college rock, new wave, synth pop and post punk from 1980-1992. I’m pretty excited to weigh in on this topic. I’ll come back later. Edited April 13, 2018 by Tom Backyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 UB40 in the late '70s and early '80s was one of the 'hardest' reggae bands around. Then they kind of sold their souls. Two on my favourites from their first 2 albums in 1980 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWj2SOiwHag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Just about everything off Pretenders & Pretenders II is worthy. Too hard to narrow down. Would add: Squeeze - Cool For Cats Elvis Costello - Pump It Up Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him? The Cure - Close To You (extended version, 'cause the synth horns make the song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 When this thread is done, if it ever is done (because there is a multitude of incredible music already suggested and we're building), is there anyone willing to collect it all?

Eleven Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) The Damned ... before they sold their souls ... The Damned never, ever were New Wave. Straight punk, even through that last album when Sensible (obviously but not publicly) relinquished creative control in a vain effort to sell a record or two.

Like we used to have mix tapes back in the day. I actually have every song suggested so far except the Specials. We can always create a spotify playlist. "Sabrespace New Wave" I agree on the Damned. Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star Berlin - Masquerade The Call - The Walls Came Down Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen The La's - There She Goes Marshall Crenshaw - Someday, Someway Edited April 14, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thomas Dolby- Blinded Me With Science & a song of his that got very little radio play but was excellent - Airwaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you might have missed Java Keith's post on the 1st page, 'cause he had Tempted & Pulling Mussels from a Shell. So, it was either add Cool for Cats or Black Coffee in Bed. ;) Will also add Chalk Circle's My Artificial Sweetener & April Fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Alright, I’m gonna New Wave Police a bit and say anything released after 1992, and in all honesty 1989 but i’ll Let it slide, needs to get right off this list. And I’m sorry, GA you aren’t the first to offend, but The La’s? Hell naw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon further review it was released in 1988 and again in 1990. Never chatted in the is either time. The band only ever managed to cobble together one actual album. Still garbage.

Upon further review it was released in 1988 and again in 1990. Never chatted in the is either time. The band only ever managed to cobble together one actual album. Still garbage. Lol. I guess they are a one hit wonder. Midnight Oil: Beds Are Burning. Another great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
