the most Bubblegum sounding New Wave artists of all time? I vote for Bucks Fizz and Dollar at being one of the tops.Also The Dolly Dots to an extent as well.Tight Fit also spring to mind,as well as these other following artists.And when I say sounding that is what I mean,I don't mean the 60's or the 70's Bubblegum sound and style.I mean of New Wave.
Bow Wow Wow to an extent
Haysi Fantasyzee also to an extent
Josie Cotton
Go Go's
The Bangles
Voice Of The Beehive
Kim Wilde
The Flirts
Barnes And Barnes
Sparks(In their later years for sure)
There are others,but I just can't think of them right now.Please feel free to add more to this list.Thank you.

newwavepopman, you're pretty right on with your list of Bubblegummy NW artists, however, I'd kinda disagree with The Bangles. Or, at least, partly. Latter-day Bangles might have fit into this category if only for their dumb "Walk Like An Egyptian" but t

Interesting listing, I never really gave much thought to bubblegum artists in the 80s. I agree, Bucks Fizz were smooth and sugary, I liked them, but now that you say it, I can see them blowing the bazooka bubbles in their cover of Talking In Your Sleep.

I would have a hard time personally putting the Go Go's into the bubble gum catagory only because of thier history. Beleive it or not the Go Go's at one time 25,000 years ago opened up for the Dead Kenedeys at the Mabuhay Gardens that alone gives them a

This bubblegum topic is like stepping on gum - we just can't get rid of it.
Or it's like old bubblegum - stale.
