Well I don't know where this list is coming from, how it was derived etc...but

Do a search for the NWO top 500 new wave songs, a much more valid compilation[}:)]

ah ya that is weird becuase i went back to the same site to the list of the greatest new wave artist and new order was number 39. thats weird..

Spirits in the material world and Two tribes top 100 pleeeeez

i am a member of digitaldreamdoor. i do listen to all types of genre but nothing but new wave.

as far as i know they compiled that by how popular they were. like for example Relax, they were very big in the UK. It is I think in the top ten of all tim

Hard to call anything after 1985 or so "new wave."
