1983 is a great year for music   Cool Though another hard selection... especially with a short list of new wave songs from 25 years ago


Selected Duran Duran, New Order, and Thomas Dolby

I selected The Police, Thomas Dolby, and Modern English.  I nominate "Love Blonde" by Kim as another possibility. Smiley

How could you forget U2 New year's day ? The start of the REAL new wave.

I've never considered U2 a new wave band, though some of their earlier songs like "I Will Follow", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and "New Years Day" would fit the genre...

Here, they were considered new wave until their Unforgettable Fire album. They changed their style a bit for The Joshua Tree album (which made them worldwide ultra-superstars), and never went back. YMMV of course.
