New Wave of the 80 s

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Even though Talk Talk made the best album out of the lot, it's a toss-up between The Jam and U2. I'll go for The Jam, although since they started in 1977 they're hardly "New Wave of the 80s". I mean, they split in '82.

	I don't know if all of these fit into the same category (well, obviously they don't, but also they do if you say 80's bands...I would take the new wave out). Some are Ok, some even good. I've heard only the classic hits from The Police, so I don't know. I like Tears for Fears but again I've only heard the classics, so I'll go with YouToo.
