These were some GREAT artists - anybody else agree?
Flash & The Pan
The Sherbs
Scott Wilk & The Walls
Wall of Voodoo
Nektar (older but obscure & kind of new wave to me)
New Musik (REALLY obscure!)
Blue Oyster Cult is my alltime favorite group (though not new wave) - their early albums were WAY before their time. If you've never heard their first & second albums (early '70's), you are missing something.

New Musik were great: Living By Numbers is fantastic electronic pop. Also loved their track: world of water.

World of Water is a great track, I agree.

Sorry, I don't know, must be too obscure for me.
I do know that I like Flash And The Pan's Welcome To The Universe & Wall Of Voodoo's Do It Again.
I had BOC's Fire of Unknown Origin LP went I was a young lad and thought it was pretty good.

Love all of New Musik! Have the 10 of living by numbers and the second album "Warp" Tony Mansfield has done some pretty notable production with Kissing the pink etc...I think I have all of Wall of Voodoo except for the very last and have all but Stan's so

New Musik is terrific. Wall of Voodoo did much more good stuff than just "Mexican Radio". I saw them live. They opened for either Oingo Boingo or R.E.M. (memory grows foggy) They really put on a great show. All I know from the others on the list is "H

BOC - This band had great singles ("burning for you") and collaborated with Patti Smith (I think she wrote "Shooting Shark", another good track). I've not heard their early early stuff but understand it was pretty inventive....
Sherbs - I also have the

WOW! I'm VERY impressed with this website - people are SO knowledgable on all types of stuff. Looks like New Musik is pretty highly regarded - I was really surprised how innovative & excellent their music was when I first played the album I have (it has

I just discovered New Musik and I must say I am impressed with "straight lines". The few other tracks I got off of soulseek have been quirky in a good way, with somtimes psychadelic synths.

BTW, I also agree about Wall of Voodoo having WAY more to offer than "Mexican Radio." I liked ALL of their stuff the first time I heard it - & that's unusual to actually like all the tracks the first time you hear them. Even after Stan left the group, t

I loved Wall of Voodoo and New Musik both. Wall of Voodoo's 2nd album was terrific, and the third one wasn't bad either. I'm still looking for a copy of "Sanctuary" on CD by New Musik; I'm really missing "Straight Lines", "World of Water", and various o

With due respect to the varied talents of Flash, Wall, and Musik, nobody imitates Elvis Costello quite like Scott Wilk and the Walls. "Radioactive" and "Familiarity Breeds Mutation" are classic pieces of post-apocalyptic power pop, the perfect expression

I don't know I've always been very partial to OMD as one of the best synthpop bands of all time.I also liked New Musik and Flash And The Pan as well.I am familiar with almost every track with Flash And The Pan from each of their albums,just abut,seeing ho
