4merper4mer Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I won't be tricked into Joe's question of "which dude wears dark eye shadow best". Â Â Joe,. If you want to try it, just try it. Â Create your own look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Other: I googled "New Wave Bands," because some genres are tough to put bands into. Multiple sources call The Police a new wave band. That being said, they are - by far - my favorite.

It is tough to categorize.  Although Sting didn't wear eye shadow, he was definitely girly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 All those bands plus The Pet Shop Boys make my ears bleed i hate them so much.   In fact I cannot stand any of the "Turbo 80's" whiny bullcrap they put out back then. Hated it then and I absolutely cannot stand it now.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not consider The Police to be New Wave at all but I associate New Wave with 80s synth.  The Smiths and Tears for Fears exemplify New Wave, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, they don't fit neatly into a category unless late 70s-80s British reggae pop is a category. Its a lonely one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Don't know the answer, but I liked "The Cure" and "Depeche Mode" back in the day. Â I actually still like a ton of '80s music. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Echo and the Bunnymen opened for Peter Gabriel at Kleinhans back in 1978... last concert I saw before I went into the army. So I've seen them and the B'52's a few times, last time was at the now defunct Tampa Jai Alai... always had a good time at their shows.  I voted other... I'll roll with The Tubes. Those first 4 albums plus the double live one are excellent... being produced by Ken Scott, Al Kooper, and Todd Rundgren can't hurt either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Is Joe Jackson New Wave? I go with Joe Jackson. Â What about DEVO? I could go with them, too. Â If Talking Heads are New Wave (which I don't think they are), then they would definitely get my vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
