Songs List
The Songs List serves as an informative repository of songs from the new wave era (predominantly 1978-1988). While many of the songs are available on CD (including numerous CD compilations), many are only available on long-out-of-print vinyl. This list is constantly growing and anyone is encouraged to suggest additions.
