<br>Sorry

but where does SAW, Dead or Alive, Pseudo Echo, Giorgio Morodor with or without Phil Oakley or Limahl, Stacey Q, Pat benatar, Furniture, Rick Astley and Donna fucking Summer gotta do with fucking Nu Wave.........

Does an American actually get the concept of Nu Wave, sorry us over here were into Flying Lizards (at the time) etc, what were the Americans listening to, oh prb Boston, Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac. You can have the Cars and J Geils Band, but please......Rick Fucking Astley

Not having a go at Yanks, some know their stuff.....

Jesus, just cos Mick Chapman did Blondie does that mean I can include Middle of The Road, The Sweet, Mud etc as Nu Wave, just cos he produced Blondie, doesn't mean he's Nu Wave, it's like saying Electric dreams by Morodor (shit that it is) is disco cos he produced alot of disco.

So I'm assuming, and correct me if i'm wrong, SAW did Dead or Alive, so that means we can deduce Kylie, Jason Donovan, Sinitta and the rest of the fucking output is nu wave, cos if you include Rick Astley include the rest......

Stick it here

or go to some SAW fan site to post the drivel, or some other poppy 80's shit......Nu wave is well.....Lok it up (try England, Where it STARTED)

Nuff said

And if there are any doubts, read Simon Reynolds' brilliant RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN or any of the first three volumes of the excellent TROUSER PRESS RECORD GUIDES to get the sense of what was or wasn't New Wave (New Pop in the UK)...PUNK...POST-PUNK...NEW POP (Post-Punk & New Pop collectively know as the NEW WAVE in the UK & Europe), AKA the time period circa 1978-1984 give or take depending on what region you live in.

There are many acts that don't even get a mention here who were vital parts of the scene (Pere Ubu, Clock DVA, The Pop Group, A Certain Ratio, the Factory stable, the Rough Trade stable, Cabaret Voltaire, etc, etc, etc) These boards totally gloss over the whole Post-Punk scene bar a few of the more popular acts (Joy Division, PIL, The Cure, etc.)

At least Giorgio Moroder has some credibility for his influence on the dancefloor and electro scene...think Sparks, Depeche Mode, Human League, etc. And Donna Summer's I FEEL LOVE is widely considered a landmark cut in the history of dance music and influenced bands like Soft Cell, Heaven 17 and many of the aforementioned Post-Punk & New Wave bands with one eye on the dancefloor (A Certain Ratio, New Order, etc)

[MARV]

A Certain Ratio were the fo-shniddle.

Mark Stewart was a bloody genius...so ahead of his time...ACR were ace...at the end of the day they were always the heart and soul of Factory...remember their shout out in 24 Hour Party People? They had a brilliant comeback disc last year called Mind Made Up and are touring again. And yes SAW has no business being on these boards...

[randy]

Can this thread just disappear?

[Andee1970]

it would if they weren't posted in the first place, just like the recent A-Ha post, why!!!!!!!!!

[weirdo]

i think you guys secretly like him and are just putting on a front...

[Andee1970]

[weirdo]

Hey "new wave" fans! New wave superstar Taylor Dayne turned 48 a few days ago. I know she probably deserves her own thread, but surely there's room here for both her and Rick! happy Birthday, Taylor!!!

Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it.

my absolute favorite Astley song is "My Arms Keep Missing You." It's got that harder Phil Harding sound, closer to a Dead or Alive feel.

What's Next? Living In A Box? East 17? Shaun Cassidy?

This has gotten out of hand, this isn't Nu wave anymore and I don't care what the Americans classify as nu wave by the looks of it, anything like Huey lewis and shit like that, Taylor Dayne my arse....

Yes lets start a thread on Bros or Terence Trent D'arby........and Inxs if you want.....

Out of here

How on earth did I just discover this thread when there's a good row..er.. discussion going on??

Motors and Andee I generally agree with here. WTSF is any post about Rick Astley is being made on here unless it's to slate him. The only good tracks they were connected with were the Upstroke and To Have and To Hold (sung by Mike's sister, Catherine).

Furniture? Not new wave, more adult pop; their album on Stiff is still class.

Ah, The Pop Group. Any band that can release 'We Are All Prostitutes' are fine by me![:D] Perhaps SAW could learn something from the lyrics? As for ACR, have you got their new album yet, Marv?

Motors is right about PSB, they DO fucking suck! Swampthing, like your thinking! [:D]
