These are my favourite New Wave songs of all time.
Cult Hero - I Dig You
Recorded in 1979 under the Cult Hero name, it was actually The Cure's first song
The B-52's - Planet Claire
Recorded in 1979 and released that year on their self-titled album, probably one of the best ever as almost every song on it is great
The B-52's - Rock Lobster
First recorded in 1978 as their debut single, was re-recorded in 1979 to be included on their self-titled album
The Cure - 10:15 Saturday Night
Recorded in 1979, first released as a single and then as the opening track of their legendary debut album Three Imaginary Boys
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach
Recorded in 1979 this hit by Canadian band Martha and the Muffins might not be that well known to non-Canadians
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Enola Gay
Recorded in 1980 this anti-war song was released on OMD's second album Organisation (a reference to the band which preceded Kraftwerk)
I have pretty much abandoned this page to focus on my Music Mixes.
