Adam And The Ants Or Spandau Ballet
by newwavepopman » Fri Nov 19, 2004 4:54 pm
This isn't very hard at all as far as I'm concerned,seeing how Adam And The Ants are and always have been my favorite New Wave band of all time,which also includes Adam's solo work too.So with this in mind Adam wins.Although I am still a very huge Spandau fan,nobody can compare with Adam,at least to me.The reason why I put these two groups together is because of the whole New Romantic thing.Anyone else have a favorite between these two groups?

Interesting!
A lot of people have no idea of Spandau's origins as New Romantics, albiet briefly and even somewhat tangentially. If you look up their old photos, they have that frilly/ruffly thing going on just like early Duran, Visage, and even Adam Ant!

I'll go with the ants! They really had a different sound with the heavy drumming and all.

Actually I don't mind Spandau Ballet's jump from the New Romantic look to their 1983 "True"-era young collegiate style. At least they changed with the times. I used to have their "Barricades" (?) album from 1986 and while not many Americans embraced it, I

The only good Spandau, IMHO, is Journey's To Glory. After that I find them quite stomach turning, especially preppy horror like Lifeline. "Live and let live in love". Gag!
