New Wave Outpost Forum

Here's an easy category what are your favorite albums-by your favorite bands-I'll go first:

The Clash-London Calling-it's easy when one of your favorite bands records one of the greatest all time albums.

The Jam-The Gift-I know they were just about broken up-but here's where we really get the definitive take on Paul Weller thinks soul music is-besides-Town Called Malice is one of the most-pissed off songs of all time.

The Fleshtones-This is easy-Hexbreaker-Super Rock Rules OK!

Plimsouls-hard choice when they only did two proper albums plus a reunion album-Everywhere At Once is sheer rock and roll desperation -why haven't we broken?-There's something about bands breaking up that sometimes leads to great art.

The Undertones-I'm tempted to take one of their earlier-punky-spunky disks-but with Positive Touch-they were learning to fly.

Gang Of Four-in referencing one of the convos I had with devil-I truly beleive that had punk not happened-these guys would have been a prog-rock band-This is what the Dance Hall of The Doomed will be playing the night before the apocalypse happens-Songs Of The Free-

Ramones-How many thought I was going to take their debut?-Sorry I have a soft spot in my heart for Too Tough To Die-This album has harder stuff than the hard stuff on all their other disks and it shows what happens when the Ramones leave lunkheadedness behind.

Theirs my first volley-who wants to return?

I absolutely agree with your Clash pick.
Some of my other faves(not all new wave but who cares?):

David Bowie-Low
Jim Carroll Band- Catholic Boy
Click Click-Rorschach Testing
The Cure-Head On The Door

Pet Shop Boys- Please- West End Girls, Love Comes Quickly, Opportunities and more
