Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 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. I realise what the OP is after in this thread, but Punk and New Wave are very hard to separate and he is looking for music in the last years of real punk to the techno age. The Damned certainly changed styles through their time and had a more gothic rock sound in the 1980s. It started with the departure of Brian James after their second album. He was the creative force of the punkiest formation in 1976/77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 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 You did include my 2 Specials suggestions, but not the UK pop reggae UB40 (although my suggestions are old enough to be considered straight reggae, so maybe that is the issue). No playlist of this era needs to include Blue Monday by New Order, IMO. And the incident that inspired the song (the suicide of Ian Curtis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White punks on dope, or if radio hits are more your thing, Talk to ya later. Great 70's and 80's music, but more hard rock and later pop music. Not really new wave. White Punks on Dope is on my metal/hard rock playlist from the 70's. Edited April 14, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, Roxy Music? I love the Roxy Music, but if they are anything but Glam Rock I will be a monkey's uncle. :P Even after they kind of mellowed by Avalon they will always be Glam Rock, IMO. That said, it's not my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel Bananaram - Cruel Summer Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes/Welcome to the Pleasure Dome Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio All great choices. Blades autobiography is one of the reason's I started this thread. Listening to 1st Wave made me realize how many great songs I had forgotten about like Love& Pride by King or the Jam's a Town Called Malice. That's why I started this list. Keep making suggestions. A couple of more standards Talking Heads - Slippery People - GA REM - Losing My Religion - GA Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself - GA Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill - GA Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey - GA Situation - Yaz/Yazoo - DJ Keith Safety Dance - Men Without Hats - GA Devo - Whip It - DJ Keith Echo & the Bunnymen - Lips lIke Sugar - DJ Keith The Human League - (Keep Feeling) Fascination - GA A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) - GA Edited April 15, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) +++++ Lena anyone? NS - Really cool song. I don't I've ever heard it before. I'll add it to the list! I also added the UB40 song - They are Reggae, but they got alot of airplay on college new wave stations and KROQ. I change Captain Sensible to the original Elton Motello and added a note about Plastic Betrand's french "version" Ca Plane Pour Moi. https://youtu.be/aBOVMWDTfDU Edited April 15, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now at 170 songs - at least 130 to go. Many classics remain available for nomination. Also please note that song: 97, 124, and 135 are being replaced because they were nominated twice, the dups were all taken from DJ Keith's list and therefore the 3 replacements will be as well Replacements 97) Level 42 - Something About You - DJ Keith 124) ABC - Look of Love - DJ Keith 135) Men at Work - Down Under - DJ Keith Edited April 16, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
