I would have voted for the Nina Hagen Band's self-titled debut if included.

5 stars 1978: Blondie - Parallel Lines - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM7wTS182v0

A favourite song from the most memorable album of the year, although I shouldn't have been too surprised that I was the only one who voted for the album in my parallel universe. That's all my illusions shattered again, just like a Heart of Glass. Tongue

RYM has Scary Monsters as #10 in its All Time New Wave chart, its #2 behind Talking Heads - Remain In Light for 1980.

maybe, just that I've never seen Bowie classified/tagged as "new-wave". Confused

RYM has him tagged as Art Rock, Pop Rock, Glam Rock, Alternative Rock, New Wave, Art Pop

Scary Monsters (1980) - Art Rock, New Wave
Let's Dance (1983) - Pop Rock, New Wave


I don't use RYM much (usually when adding an album to a band here on PA, luckily RYM has some info sometimes). So I wouldn't know how RYM tags David Bowie. 

Art-rock and pop-rock, that I have seen and I agree. Smile

I also thought "new wave" meant a new wave of bands. LOL Right?! LOL

I feel the same way about XTC too, so I'll drop them from the 1979 poll in favor of Siouxsie & the Banshees. Thumbs Up 

RYM has XTC - Drums & Wires as the 3rd best New Wave album of 1979, just saying.

Maybe also because he was never new wave. Geek

^ Exactly what I was thinking...

On the other hand, Join Hands isn't really the most outstanding from what I know from Siouxsie and the Banshees. Still, I'd prefer to see that album in a poll than a Bowie album that will attract votes like horse sh*t attracts flies...
