Much better than the last list. Talk Talk It's My Life is such a big step forward after their debut. Welcome to the Pleasuredome is big fun. Still these don't quite reach the top two here which are The Flat Earth and Stop Making Sense. Vote for Thomas Dolby. |

After The Fixx, my choice would be Lament by Ultravox, which is a fantastic album. Another prog connection: Ultravox's drummer Warren Cann (who is Canadian, not English) moved to the UK at the age of 22. The first band he was involved in had as its guitarist future Hawkwind alum Huw Lloyd-Langton. Many years later, after being fired from Ultravox (a move Midge Ure eventually regretted), Cann played again with Huw in Lloyd-Langton Group, as a keyboardist for a whole tour. The late Neil Peart also cited Warren Cann as an influence.

None at the moment of typing this, I mean THIS, but don't discount a vote to be finalised quite some words after "this", "this", or the following this that comes after this this, or this one. Now I'm confused, where was I with this? I know I have heard songs here and there of most of these, and I know I have heard some full albums here (by Ultravox and Talking Heads), but my recollection is lousy. I love later Talk Talk. Well, I actually might have that Echo & the Bunnymen album on cassette tape somewhere as a kind person I didn't really know gave me an E@tB tape when I was laid up in hospital. People really can be so kind -- that would make a "nice" thread, a thread on those acts of kindness we most remember and still get a warm "humanity can be so wonderful" feeling over. And one of the "let's wipe everyone out because people are shi*s" (or at least pirates who work on ships) ilk for balance. We need some balance in the universe, and one assh**e can make a Samaritan smell all the sweeter. I think Samaritans may not have traditionally bathed much except in rivers which likely would have raw sewage in them due to the lack of plumbing and sewers, septic tanks etc.. Historians can correct me, and although Samaritans refers to a person who helps out another when that person is in trouble, if all Samaritans were good we would not have a parable called the Good Samaritan, although good can be subjective, and some just disliked the Samaritans period (tribalism runs deep). Biblical scholars can elucidate me. The band I had hoped to see is Cocteau Twins, but then I don't see it listed at sites as New Wave. !984's Treasure is a treasure, and I don't just say that because the album name is treasure, that would be really cheesy. In the 1980s I was too busy listening to 60s and 70s classic rock with my friends to pay as much attention as I might have to New Wave. I watched music videos and heard a lot of New Wave songs that way. That said, one I love from the 80s, and I loved it in the 80s is the Australian band Divinyls, who put the divine in de vinyl, or more like the raunchy. And that I do see labelled as pop-rock and New Wave (and power pop) at RYM. A tape of Divinyls What a Life! from 1985 was given to me by the same guy at the same time as the Echo & The Bunnymen tape. I loved it and played it so much that I rather forgot about Echo... even though I like it. One of my friends liked it even more, but I did not give it to him because I'm not as charitable as some have been to me. Sorry universe. Balance, for givers to give you need takers to take. Seriously, I try to give, I'm just not that generous generally or thoughtful. This was me typing while passing time and listening to various music from the playlist but mostly one album by one act that I should have listened to properly many years ago. As I am on the laptop listening -- I won't be indiscrete by saying whose laptop I am sitting on I though I might as well have some fun typing at the same time. Someone should make a portable computer with keyboard that dances called a laptop dancer, but I digress.... I am liking that Echo and the Bummymen very much, and will give it a vote. It's also to pay my respects to that person whose name I don't recall for that act of kindness back in 1986. I will now give it a proper full listen. I do think that was the album he gave me. I am hugely prone to typos and I notice that I misspelled Bunnymen. I could go back and edit, but instead I will write it here properly by hand to give more respect to him and the band (no copy-paste pour moi): Echo & The Bunnymen, not Echo and the Bummymen. I hope this is readable, the more I type like this, the messier it tends to get. Anyway, in summation, I like that Echo... album from my listening now. Cocteau Twins rocks, New Wave or not -- new waves rock the boat even if the New Wave itself does not rock. And Divinyls is one I would include for the following year, and it rocks. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

| Boy sounds like New Wave to me. Ocean Rain, on the other hand, I would call it rather a great neo-psychedelic pop album |
Posted By: Logan
Date Posted: June 03 2023 at 11:52
I bet I'm being stupid as sin, or missing the obvious, or just ignorant as hell. and maybe because I'm not reading through the thread and have barely slept for three nights, but what is Boy? The older I get the more okay I am with being stupid, ignorant, and perhaps senile. I listed to Ocean Rain in full thanks to this topic, and while it got my vote, I would not have thought of it as New Wave either. ^^ While these polls should be about the albums themselves being New Wave rather than the band per se, I have never thought of U2 as New Wave and looking at RYM (my lazy go to if in doubt), it mainly classifies it as Alternative Rock, Big Music, Pop Rock. As a secondary lesser listing, it says Post-Punk, Ambient Pop, Dream Pop, Art Rock. I often do associate a sort of dreamy pop quality to new Wave, but then the dream pop I listen to often is not classified as New Wave. I mentioned Cocteau Twins in this poll and least (not sure Paul if you know them, but some of the music can be rather Dead Can Dance-y to me) and to me Treasure would have been sort of New Wave related, but I searched google, RYM... and I did not find any reference to it being at all linked to New Wave. Great topic for polls and discussion. I love when we dive into such things even if kind of trivial or maybe because of it. I am always interested to see people's takes on these kinds of things at the forum. Cool idea for a series Paul, and I hope we can nail down New Wave over the course of these polls. Some New Wave is obvious, but it seems so loose, and yet sometimes not as loose as I would expect. I'm okay being ignorant generally on most things, but I want to be a life-time learner even if hardly on the most important or pressing of issues.  {EDIted for typos and was coming here to say that I just saw Boy in a U2 discography list by coincidence, because in that Radiohead/Springsteen topic Lorenzo brought up U2 and I have been preparing my observations and conclusions based on the data} ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

^ It is the debut, Cristi, I literally just noticed that when preparing a response to another topic just now which brings up U2 and came here to edit that I found it as I am looking through the RYM U2 ratings right now. Funny that. Needed some editing for typos too, I see. Yuck. I really should read through my posts (or use a word processor) and preview. If they had great content one could perhaps excuse the form and typos. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

^^ I'll think about putting together a series of Dream Pop polls as I go Floating into the Night tonight, and they'll definitely include Cocteau Twins and Julee Cruise - the Twin Peaks of Dream Pop for me. I'll save U2 for a possible later series of Alternative Rock polls. I have a feeling U2 will win every year in which they released an album, apart from the year of 1997 when U2 released their Pop album, obviously. |

^ Yep, I will love this. Of course, for any who have paid any attention, I love Twin Peaks, and my avatar references it (I should have asked the one who made that photo for permission methinks). I actually started making a Dream Pop/ Ethereal Wave/ Darkwave series of polls recently in Notepad as a result of being inspired by this topic. I had put quite a lot of time into it, got quite far but then, I had some dissatisfaction with it, and had time-consuming discussions going on at the forum. I've been laid up for quite some time with herpes (not the kind borne of fun of the "Tainted Love" variety) but of the shingles due to the chicken-pox virus kind. Painful but gave me an excuse to devote even more time to the things I enjoy doing, like posting at PA. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I Love Talk Talk's first three albums, but it's Such a Shame their last two albums didn't live up to my expectations. Not surprisingly, It's My Life is Talk Talk's best-selling album by far, with sales of 450,000, against Spirit of Eden with sales of only 60,000.

A new wave of songs from an old poll.... Following a suggestion from Logan in the 1985 New Wave poll, I'll be picking my favourite songs from albums I've rated 4 stars or more, starting with.... 1984: Aztec Camera - Knife - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ny1YZuZ1Ygkda4xXudnLqXTHrblrkcn6Q" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ny1YZuZ1Ygkda4xXudnLqXTHrblrkcn6Q I don't have any particular favourites from albums I've rated 3 stars, and in the case of any 2-star albums, it'd be a matter of deciding which songs I dislike the least.

1984: Talk Talk - It's My Life - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mBsxzGWIdJgpq1HfikoH8O3tA4mSfhcgg" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mBsxzGWIdJgpq1HfikoH8O3tA4mSfhcgg Talk Talk - It's My Life in the human zoo..
