Cure - A Forest
U2 - Electric Co
Split Enz - I See Red

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
Neil Young - Like A Hurricane (I know...not new wave but damn the live version kicks some serious ass!)
And yes, any of the Cheap Trick songs on Live AT The Budokan and any of the Frampton songs off Frampton Comes Alive.
