You're right!
That is about 2p worth....

Certainly better value and of more worth than the 0p snides and era definition you've added to this thread so far..

Actually, I thought your humble opinion was lucid and well thought out...

<br>DODi & eight6, try this. High bit rate and sounds G-R-E-A-T!

Eight6, you likely haven't had much response to this request because you are on "New Wave Outpost" and not "Obscure R&B Outpost". But, I'm eclectic in my listenings, so I'm pleased to oblige. Now, remove the pox!

Seems to me you fueled the fire there Goth. What side are you on anyways. You're like Bruce Willis in "Last Man Standing" at least Chris Walken knew what side he was on. [;)]

<br>Ok well I voted no in the poll. Even though I'm a dj and love Dance Music I feel that putting in a forum for DJ's would change the quality of the site. Besides I came here to learn about New Wave!!!

if 80's club music is not new wave, and one could rationally argue for or against the issue, then there needs to be some very strict definition of what new wave is.

AND STICK TO IT.

be consistent.

rather than get all up in arms over some of us trading rare dance music why don't you just give the paula abdul and luther vandross requesters a good natured hard time and move on about your merry little way.

is ultravox new wave?
did ultravox have 80's dance music?
is depeche mode new wave?
did depeche mode have 80's dance music?
is new order new wave?
did new order have 80's dance music?
is gary numan new wave?
did gary numan have 80's dance music?
is oingo boingo new wave?
did oingo boingo have 80's dance music?

damn near every new wave act in the 80's had a 12" remix or extended dance mix of their hits FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING IT PLAYED IN A CLUB.

do you see where i am going with this?

your definitions need to be crystal clear and then religiously adhered to. otherwise, you will forever trying to define what is and what is not labeled as new wave.

let the dj's have their time. once all wants, needs and desires are satisfied, things WILL calm down and return to 6 months ago.

you are not being infringed upon. you are not being violated. you are not being disrespected. you are being validated as having a forum where like minded individuals can come together to talk about the greatest, most DIVERSE era in modern music.

stay the course and fuclosure.

depeche mode
ultravox
paula abdul
gary numan
oingo boingo

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!

fuclosure, New Wave club music, 12" mix is fine and dandy! We don't need a strict definition of what New Wave is, just sing this song and you will find your answer [;)]

Okay, I think we have our answer for now ... no D.J. forum. I think it's probably best not to expand too far beyond the original intent of this board. Besides, the 'Vinylmania' section would seem to be a good fit where D.J.'s can discuss equipment, mixing, rare promos, etc.

Strictly object to this idea! I want New Wave. If you're looking for anything else, go somewhere else! It's like going to an ice-cream parlor and asking for a steak ( and then starting a poll if they should sell steak too).

Alrighty Then..

The Membership has spoken, El Presidente has responded, acknowledging the general concensus that no new music discussion forum would be welcome at this time..

Thank You for your input and comments.
