Which of these songs do you consider New Wave?
Posted: Wed May 31, 2017 7:50 pm
- Drive by The Cars
- I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner
- Broken Wings by Mr. Mister
- Africa by Toto
- Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen
They are pretty similar sound-wise, and all of them were huge hits in the 80s, and they can be found in multiple 80s compilations. But for example in Wikipedia, Africa and IWTKWLI are classified only as "Soft Rock", when Broken Wings is classified as "New Wave" and "Dance Rock" (Dance Rock, really?) too.
