Bryan Ferry wrote "The Way You Do" on Frida's SOMETHING GOING ON album--and it's pretty amazing. Hard to believe that he gave that one away, even to Frida...

Speaking of "Sometimes A Fantasy" has the 7-inch version ever been released on compact disc? I love how it ends cold with that Beatles' quote: "I've Got Blisters On My Fingers"

Even though it's considered their "disco" song, Kiss "I Was Made For Lovin' You" is the best mainstream rock new wave song of the 70s.

Would Van Halen's "Jump" count? All of a sudden the ultimate guitar rock band put the synth front and center:

http://www.guitarworld.com/eddie-van-ha ... 50-studios

"Van Halen’s use of a synth on 'Jump' ushered in a new era of appreciation for the instrument, which previously was associated mostly with new wave bands and electro pioneers like Kraftwerk, Gary Numan and Tangerine Dream. Almost overnight, sales of synthesizers increased exponentially, similar to the revolutionary boost in guitar sales that Van Halen influenced after the first Van Halen album made its debut and fortuitously coinciding with the introduction of the first affordably priced polyphonic synths. Music store keyboard departments were soon filled with the sounds of aspiring musicians playing ham-fisted versions of “Jump,” much the same way that guitar departments were subjected to novices attempting to play 'Stairway to Heaven.'"

I always thought "Jump" was a lousy song.

I remember, at the time, working with a big Springsteen Fan, who was disapointed the Boss "caved-in" to New Wave, when Dancin in The Dark came out ...
