<br>OK ... here goes. This was a lot tougher than I thought, especially deciding where to draw the line at what could be included. I have 2 lists, one which includes all things "new wave" in the broadest definition, and this one, which is far more rigid. Ultimately, we're listing new wave songs on the New Wave Outpost and there's no way certain things should be called new wave. So ... no industrial ( sorry Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb), no goth (sorry Clan Of Xymox, Xmal Deutschland, Sisters), no punk (sorry Clash, DK's, Black Flag, etc.), no postpunk (sorry Fall, Wire), no college rock/alternative (sorry Pixies, JAMC) and most difficult of all, no Iggy, Bowie, Roxy Music or Be Bop Deluxe. Sorry but none of the above are new wave so fuck it, they're out otherwise my list would be 200 instead of 50.

So with no further ado and no attempts at revisionist history or to appear cool, here's what I liked and played most then, when it most mattered:

Motors - could you please asterisk the songs that are "Gentle Wave"? I'm having a little trouble spotting them.
