the most Bubblegum sounding New Wave artists of all time? I vote for Bucks Fizz and Dollar at being one of the tops.Also The Dolly Dots to an extent as well.Tight Fit also spring to mind,as well as these other following artists.And when I say sounding that is what I mean,I don't mean the 60's or the 70's Bubblegum sound and style.I mean of New Wave.

Bow Wow Wow to an extent

Josie Cotton

I would have a hard time personally putting the Go Go's into the bubble gum catagory only because of thier history. Beleive it or not the Go Go's at one time 25,000 years ago opened up for the Dead Kenedeys at the Mabuhay Gardens that alone gives them a

This bubblegum topic is like stepping on gum - we just can't get rid of it.
Or it's like old bubblegum - stale.
