1. Cars- Gary Numan
2. Electricity- OMD
3. I Melt With You- Modern English
4. Primary- The Cure
5. Don't You (Forget About Me)- Simple Minds
6. This Town- The Go Gos
7. Walking In L.A.- Missing Persons
8. Dreaming- Blondie
9. Heart of Glass- Blond

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

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

thank you ALL for the suggestions!!!!! i'll keep working on this!


question, whats this MOR some of you mentioned?

>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

i'm from manila and i'm an avid new wave fan. it's so hard to find a good new wave cd here in our place.will anyone tell me where can i get one? i'm just a 20 year old guy but my fascination for new wave already existed ever since i was a kid and i don't
