Some Culture Club & Wham!
didn't stand the test of time,
but I have a soft spot for them.
I do roll up the windows to my car,
when I'm stopped at an intersection playing Wham! or Culture Club.
They are kind of like The Bee Gees of the 80s.
Wham! were
not new wave. The only thing "new wave" about Wham! were their timing.
There's a multitude of new wave songs and bands that I detest. Off the top of my head, a few personal hates are "Tempted" by Squeeze and "True" by Spandau Ballet. Not even sure how "True" counts as a new wave song, to be honest. It's the most grating adult contemporary, limp, mainstream pop song imaginable. I like most of Squeeze's output, but "Tempted" just bugs me to no end.
