I tend to give preference to Power New Wave over Gentle New Wave and to bands which have released more albums but my next 20 would definitely include The Wild Swans, The Colourfield, Care, Railway Children, Soft Cell, The Adventures etc Sadly the Cult and X'mal Deutschland barely missed my top 10!

Hey Lakay!

You are my opposite, you gave preference to gentle New Wave over Power New Wave ahahah BTW, Gerry D had offered me the Desert Wolves but I was not so impressed, I passed. IMO, Seona Dancing and Icicle Works have each a Mega Hit but the rest is so-so. Good choice anyway![:D]
