Greatest Elder Statesman of New Wave

Postby SuNomi » Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:11 am

These are the people who've lived through it all and managed to either stay in the spotlight by either the sheer force of their personality and/or by still releasing vital music to this day...

I voted Elvis when he was tied with Roberet Smith at one a piece, so E.C. ahead, but will he win??? Or will R.S. win, stay tuned...

<p align="justify">Moz, but I'd rank Martin L. Gore far higher on a relevance list (not just in New Wave, but in music, period).

Voted for Elvis, but major props to SuNomi for the inclusion of Robyn Hitchcock.

Paul Weller would probably get more votes if he wasn't such an ass.

I voted for Elvis.

Big Oops on Bono & Sting. Truth is, I accidently hit enter before I finished the list! Damn...

Must say it's nice to see Elvis out ahead though.

I had to go with Robert Smith. Much truer to New Wave and much more active than the others



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

I always said the "Mt. Rushmore" of Punk/New Wave were the early-70's originators...David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop & Bryan Ferry. I HOPE all four have something new for us this year.

I'm sure it's obvious who I voted for [:D]

Their last album was a turd, and I'm wary of the next one with The Cure as a four-piece, but I've got to hand it to Robert Smith: He's still doing things his way, on his terms.
