You ended up with "hungry like the wolf"? I think their greatest tunes are "the chauffeur" and "planet earth". Synth-Heaven! :-)

I don't see Simple Minds' "Don't you forget about me" as new wave. It's M.O.R. rock, similar to U2. They'd left their new wave sound far behind them by then. Similar feleings with the Smiths. Fantastic band but new wave? Never. The Smiths were and always

Definately true about "Don't You...". Did this come from the same band that did "The Amercian"?! Regarding Smiths, I know what you're saying. Maybe everything I mentally classify as New Wave is just all the great alterno stuff from 1976 to 1989. However,

Here's a challenge for a new wave compilation.

I'm so glad you haven't included "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo, or "Mickey" by Tony Basil. Also your a little heavy on the Go-Go's, (IMHO). I'd try not to included the same band twice on a compilation. You might also consider created sub-genre compilations a

>You might also consider created sub-genre compilations and group the bands by there sound and style.

thanks for the suggestion SwampThing. but is it because im using to many different styles? hmm i thought they were all pretty similar.

When I make a New Wave compilation I have certain songs that always make my list. Yes, some of them are songs that more often than not show up on those New Wave commercial CD's, such as "Cars" and "Turning Japanese". However, there are certain songs of
