This isn't very hard at all as far as I'm concerned,seeing how Adam And The Ants are and always have been my favorite New Wave band of all time,which also includes Adam's solo work too.So with this in mind Adam wins.Although I am still a very huge Spandau fan,nobody can compare with Adam,at least to me.The reason why I put these two groups together is because of the whole New Romantic thing.Anyone else have a favorite between these two groups?

I'm with randy on this - I'll pick the Ants. I absolutely hate Spandau.

The only good Spandau, IMHO, is Journey's To Glory. After that I find them quite stomach turning, especially preppy horror like Lifeline. "Live and let live in love". Gag!
Adam had some great moments in his schizophrenic career. Didn't care for Dirk, l
