New Wave

Or post punk. Or alt rock. Or maybe even pop. Maybe its just songs I like from 30 years ago.

Good Simple Minds = Fuck yes. Sons & Fascination + Sister Feeling Call is killer.

Go to http://www.myspace.com/polyrock and listen to "Your Dragging Feet". Brilliant, brilliant new wave from 1980 produced by Philip Glass.

You understate things. It is, as a matter of fact, the best album ever. Nothing else comes close. From a band that only knew how to churn out fucking brilliant music till they found that stadium rock sold more...

Not sure I'd classify all of them, or possibly even any of them, as New Wave, though I know the definition is tenuous. For me it denotes those bands that emerged after punk who took some elements of that and combined it with synth...but not enough synth to be a synth act. Think Pet Shop Boys and Human League were more synthpop, not sure Joy Division or the Smiths would be happy to be in there or had that synth sound, Talk Talk and Crowded House (or at least Split Enz) would make the grade I guess, Wet Wet Wet were just utterly shite pop and Pulp just utterly shite Indie trying very hard to be arch.

Can't find the synth pop thread, google means nothing in the now non-existent dictionary.

Cheers for keeping youtube alive though.

lulz system.

God I love new wave... Its funny cuz no matter what, i never grown tired of the new wave, synth pop, darkwave/goth, post-punk/alt umbrella. Most genres, i need a break from after long stints on them, but not new wave. It may be cuz ima Bowie freak, but bowie, aha, pet shop boys, new order, soft cell, gary numan, etc, cant get enough!

You know a music thread has started well when there's a reference to Simple Minds' Theme For Great Cities

The Chameleons - Don't Fall (I heard it in a webmix by Regis and The Black Dog..)
