New Wave Outpost Forum

In a New Wave vein of course. What are your thoughts? In no particular order. I'll compile the results. I point for each top 5 and 1/2 point for honorable mentions up to 2 more. I'll start:

Top Albums:
The Hour of Bewilderbeast – Badly Drawn Boy
Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol
The Dresden Dolls – The Dresden Dolls
The Decline of British Sea Power – British Sea Power
Franz Ferdinand – Franz Ferdinand
Honorable Mention:
Logic Will Break Your Heart – The Stills
Machina/The Machines of God – The Smashking Pumpkins

Top Songs:
All These Things I’ve Done – The Killers
Untitled – Interpol
It Ended on an Oily Stage – British Sea Power
Turn My Way – New Order
Mary – Scissor Sisters
Hororable Mention:
Thinking of a Dream I Had – The Walkmen
Gravity Rides Everything – Modest Mouse

There's must be dozens I'm forgetting, and I reserve the right to change my opinion every other minute.

Well this has been a rousing success. Here's the tally so far: Music Lovers - 0, Inane Controversey Hounds - 1000. [V]

Does anybody care or have an opinion on some of the really good new wave-influenced music that is actually out there right now???

Honestly blir, I have been soo turned off by corporazzi terrestrial radio that I have not heard of ONE of those tunes! Any chance you could post a sampler folder on the NW hub for us to nibble at?
I'm so jaded and turned off by the current radio music s

I'd gone through all that too 2Nu but am realizing there are some real gems out there that are clearly post-punk/new wave inspired. I'm so often traveling that I can rarely be on the hub anymore. I'll try to post a sampler on my own storage.

Better yet

Sorry, these aren't all in a new wave vein (there's so much hybrid stuff out there with numerous influences), so I'll have to shoot for 20-25...

the most interesting new wave/new romantic influenced music of the past several years has been done by a brit named John B. he recently did a great remix of howard jones's "revolution of the heart". his new album in transit is great, as is his last album

Blir, I finally have 2 discs done for you, should get them out today or tomorrow at the latest.

hands down, THE best new wave to come out in the 00's is easily THE FAINT!! god i love this band! so dark, and synth-laiden. and TOTALLY danceable. (and really, isn't that what it's all about?)
thier albums 'danse macabre' and 'wet from birth' are
