with the recent rock n roll hall of fame inductions i was wondering what persons or groups would you include in the first class of the new wave hall of fame? i was thinking along the lines of early pioneer award, an award for artist with biggest influence on new wave, and say the first three groups or persons you would induct. any ideas?

Wow. The very first NW Hall of Fame class. Hmmm. I would say the Velvet Underground would be honored for the biggest influence. The other first three honored would be:

Kraftwerk
Jonathan Richman
The Sex Pistols

I would go with David Bowie for early pioneer.

First 3 others -
Patti Smith
Ramones
B52s
although any of them would get my vote fo
