"Love Moves In Strange Ways" is a very good song but NOT the best on their LP

"Cry Boy Cry" is simply amazing and well fit for 1983 and the music video is really good too

My favorite track off the LP is "(I Just Can't) Forgive And Forget" there is also a music video for this track but I have yet to see it.

After "Cry Boy Cry," it was all downhill. "Forgive and Forget" is basically the same song, and I have trouble sitting through anything else by them.

Cry Boy Cry is a good song but maybe it lacks in originality.... somehow, whereas Love Moves in Strange Ways is more creative. Actually the album is not very good but well it is rare and hard to come by. From that album, I like also Open Up and that's about all.

Open Up

YUP! Devo there was indeed a Music Video which I only saw once back in 1987. WOW![;)] That was a long time ago, I wish I could see it again. The whole BLUE ZOO album is excellent.[8D] It's one of my favorite Vinyl Records.

So would you say "Love Moves in Strange Ways" is gentle, mainstream or powerless wave?

U don't rate the songs, U rate the bands, that is to say the average, usual, main , dominant sound of the band. Taking the Blue Zoo album as example and setting aside the songs Cry Boy Cry, Love Moves in Strange Ways and Open Up, the majority of the remaining songs belong obviously to the Mainstream New Wave, so Blue Zoo is rated Mainstream New Wave band, as simple as that eheheheh.[:D]

PS:This is your assignment [:D]

Rate the following bands according to my updated sub-genres:
a: Gentle Wave, b: Main Wave, c: Power Wave

1:ABC, The Mission UK, Aztec Camera
2:Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cars, The Railway Children
3:The Wild Swans, X'Mal Deutschland, U2

Submit in my pigeon hole before the Parent-Teacher conference tomorrow.[:D]

me too. that is a great songi didn't knew that it was by Blue Zoo

A little Bio by our friend Michael.

Throughout their brief existence, the quirky British combo Blue Zoo juggled various musical styles with gleeful abandon. Formed in England in 1980, Blue Zoo released their first single, "I Shoot Sheep," under the moniker Modern Jazz. Featuring Andy O (vocals), Tim Parry (guitar), Mike Ansell (bass), and Micky Sparrow (drums), Blue Zoo shifted from post-punk gloom to jubilant synth-pop to offbeat funk on their 1983 debut album Two by Two, with only O's flamboyant, high-pitched vocals linking the tracks together. The vigorous dance song "Cry Boy Cry" catapulted Blue Zoo onto BBC TV, but tracks like "Open Up" and "Love Moves in Strange Ways" revealed the group's versatility. The mechanical rhythms and robotic singing of "Open Up" suggests the influence of early Wire, while "Love Moves in Strange Ways," a breakup tale told with ghostly keyboards, brittle acoustic guitars, and O's plaintive wailing, unearthed the band's darker side. Elements of the Associates, XTC, and New Order are tossed into Blue Zoo's stylistic soup on Two by Two. The masses, though, were either largely unimpressed or deeply perplexed by Blue Zoo's schizophrenic mood swings. The group produced a final single, the relentlessly upbeat "Somewhere in the World There's a Cowboy Dancing," and then entered the obscurity file after splitting apart in 1985. ~ Michael Sutton

Hum... the songs mentioned here are exactly the songs that I like:
Love Moves in Strange Ways, Open Up, Cry Boy Cry and Somewhere in the World There's a Cowboy Dancing. I heard this last song recently probably on K-lite.
