4 stars 1983: Tears for Fears - The Hurting - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lcPSVoMiFc7aMY2BCDVA1j-UiduDkuaRg

When you don't give me love, You gave me Pale Shelter..... I've no idea what that means, but it's still a great song. Smile

^^ i love Killing Joke

And Night Time in 1986 is perhaps among the top/best new wave post punk bands in 1985.

Also Cameleon UK should be mentioned in apost punk new wave homage thread

4 stars 1983: Spandau Ballet - True - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOJmT65gi8g

Spandau Ballet's best-selling 1983 album - featuring well-groomed, sharp-dressed men - was at the very forefront of the Sophisti-Pop era. I know that much is True. Smile

Released in 1983, not their best album, but still decent.

4 stars 1983: Flock of Seagulls - Listen - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mrxeoKzaDAHAJMUL5GqU3ZuaX2oLY0zKY

Wishing (If I had a photograph of Mike Score, or something to remind me of those outlandish hairdos in the 1980's). Shocked

4 stars 1983: Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mVHolcLdgYaXZ8nkUk0rX1a8V-pb0fAyU

For nearly forty years I wrongly assumed this was the first Eurythmics album, until recently unearthing a CD In the Garden. Embarrassed

I haven't posted a Depeche Mode video here yet, so it's time to Get the Balance Right - or alternatively, if you're making the bed, Get the Valance Right. Smile

Indeed. Land is a fine New Wave album, some of their post punk work is even better.

I must remember to include Comsat Angels in my upcoming series of Post-Punk polls. Wink

4 stars 1983: China Crisis - Working with Fire and Steel - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lnegkMOcmRO_LlP8_QPhKB1WFH8JJDtc0

Wishful Thinking - My favourite song from my all-time favourite China Crisis album, but it's a Tragedy and Mystery why I've never got around to buying it on CD. Confused

Because you don't like The Cure, or simply because you find them too similar? Not a problem for me either way, but I don't really think they are all that similar. It has never crossed my mind actually.

Lots of great albums listed but Duran Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger is probably one of the few new wave albums i would actually give five stars.

Listened to it on a road trip in December and it blows me away everytime

The Cure - Japanese Whispers. More of a compilation than a proper album, brilliant document of a chaotic phase of the band.

This is one of my favourite pieces.  I adore this, gives me chills after so many years, but then i really like Giorgio Moroder



^ Those two above rank as perhaps my two very favourite pieces of ":modern" music.  Gives me shivers.

Some who participated in a recent Interactive Poll will remember a Jarboe collab track with tiger growling sounds.   I love Jarboe (she was in Swans) but it is that Cat People music two above that inspired me most to like and choose that Jarboe collab as my nomination.

From Let's Dance, I find Ricochet and Criminal World so great.  I have played that album so many times, and it is one that consider to be underrated by many.
I've seen the movie and bought the soundtrack too, but I didn't realise Cat People was a remake, until now. Embarrassed

Let's Dance is the first Bowie album I ever bought on vinyl and it still remains one of my favourites. Thumbs Up
