New Wave Outpost Forum

Let's pretend you're in a band. You and your band are about to go in the studio and record your first full length album. An entire album featuring covers of some of the best new wave classics.

What songs would you choose to cover and why?


I'll start...

Wall Of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Oingo Boingo - Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me
Camouflage - The Great Commandment
Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia
A Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing
OMD - So In Love
Musical Youth - Pass The Dutchie
B-52's - Love Shack
Echo & The Bunnymen - Bring On The Dancing Horses
Billy Idol - Don't Need A Gun
Jesus Jones - Right Here Right Now
Roman Holliday - Stand By
The Bluebells - Cath
Peter Schilling - Major Tom
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
Jon Astley - Jane's Getting Serious
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Beastie Boys - No Sleep Til Brooklyn
New Order - Thieves Like Us
Real life - Send me an Angel

The Cure
The Smiths
Siouxie
Depeche Mode
New Order
English Beat
U2
Oingo Boingo

I won't pick the songs, that would be too hard. You could actually
do a full Cover Album of each band!

Also there are some good Cover bands of these groups that do a
good "Tribute" to them.

Most notable are(On Myspace):
Blasphomus Rumors
Still Ill
NOCTURNA
The Cured
Rio

Lie To me - Depeche Mode. 6 different ways - the cure, in my room, by yaz, , cemetry gates, the smiths

i would do the bongos part for Catapilar, freaky stuff baby

It's got a list of all the songs we play or have played live.

Alot less new wave than i personally want, but there is a super long list of songs on the "to be learned" list....getting the rest of the band to learn them is always the issue....
