Was Men at work, The Cars, Police, and Sheena Easton considered "new wave"?

by **Frau_Blucher** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:33 pm

Sheena definatley no. Men at Work, yes no maybe i don't know. Early on though, The Cars and Police were definately considered new wave. I think the changeover to them being considered more mainstream came around '81 to '82 when new wave was being populari

i would say yes to men at work because i heard them on a new wave station 6 months before top 40 played them...even american bandstand was a few months later when they had "who can it be now" on rate-a-record

I would also say Yes to Men At Work...I know, I know, they've been derided here in the past, but what else can their sound be ? Now, they never had the synth thing going on, nor the power pop thing, but they definately had this quirky edge to them that wa

Sheena Easton - there, I said it. I have her first 5 releases on CD, and like them a great deal. What more can I say? I own lots of things that might turn your stomach, but hey, I like 'em.

Sheena Easton. There, I said it again.

And I like those pri

I'd pretty much agree with everyone else. Men At Work, The Cars and The Police: yes. Sheena Easton: no. Classifying music into genres is very pointless though, listen to whatever pleases you.

Ah. Sheena Easton. I thought she was hot for short period during my youth. What evere became of her?

Sheena Easton.....ah, how that name just rolls off your tongue so easily.

Definitely not new wave, but I do like her early music, and man she was fine (probably still is)

Think I'll go throw in one of her CD's right now. Anyone got a 10 hour mp3 dis

Men at Work - yes (sort of I guess anyway)
The Cars - yes, about as New Wave as you could get at the time!
The Police - yes, I certainly consider them New Wave...

I'm in agreement with most of you.

Men At Work - Definitley, yes. I know they are sort of viewed by some as a novelty band, but I always considered them New Wave.
Cars - Yes, but they also had a pretty large "classic rock" following.
Police - Yes, bu
