I had to Blir. You know how it is [;)]

I only included studio albums and left out the Disco compilation mixes. It's a shame Fundamental is'nt out yet because I would have loved to include that as well but this can't wait. Besides, we'd need to wait a while to absorb it anyway.

Anyway.....choose wisely, my New Wave brethren [;)]

Very hard to choose.
But as a whole album, I had to go with 'Behavior'.
Second runner-up may be 'Bilingual', I love the sound of that album!
And 'Introspective' is a cool little mini-album.

The hardest one to choose from the Top Bands Top Albums subjects. PSB being one of all time favorite bands and I just flat out love their first 4 albums. Behaviour was a close 2nd but I think Please was the most perfect album and deserves my vote. I love West End Girls, Love Comes Quickly, Later Tonight, etc. I remember getting this album from the first time and just said, simple the best New Wave album ever. Now if they would only release all of the 12" singles from this album onto little cardboard cd singles.

I voted for "Very". It's the only one that I like all the tracks on there. "Please" would rank #2 for me.

Oh god, please, no. I don't want to be tempted to drop all the money on them. Despite it being a waste, I do have to admit that all those little Duran 12" single replicas look kind of cool.

I'd chose Behavior though Please and Very are a very close second. Fundamental is right up there with all three of these though.

I vote for Actually. It's one of my all time favorite albums, and has the perfedt PSB mix of great pop and moodier songs such as "Kings Cross".

I was just thinking the other day that Lowe and Tenant are the Lennon and McCartney of new wave. I can't think of any other pair of songwriters who have written so many great songs since the end of the 60's.
