Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has any band suggestions for me. You seem to know what you are talking about here, most of the time... Im "only" 24 and from Norway, so I have probably missed out on a lot of the good music, so I need to fill in the gaps. If you like the following bands and think you have any suggestions on something I might like, I will be forever grateful.
Anyway, some of my favorite bands:
Cure
Ride
Depeche Mode
Cocteau Twins
Chameleons
XTC
Boards of Canada
Kraftwerk
Stranglers
Brian Eno
Killing Joke( mostly Night time and brighter...)
Blur
Felt
Talking Heads
Duran duran
Japan
Crowded house
Fischer-Z
Chapterhouse
Jesus & Mary Chain
Julian Cope
A-ha
Wire
Lightning seeds
Slowdive
Echo&the Bunnymen
Love & Rockets
Gary Numan
Boo radleys
Smiths
and the list goes on and on...
Not all new wave but...
What Im really looking for is bands/artists that are not as well known(as the above) so that I can impress my mates. I have an impression that many great bands have been almost forgotten along the way. So, any suggestions?

P.S.(Goodbye): Check out the band Zoot Woman, best retro 80s Ive heard so far!
