Hookiest New Wave Songs?

Postby Minty » Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:34 am

What new wave songs do you think are ridiculously hook-filled? I mean songs that go overboard on the number of hooks, i.e. in quantity (not quality). You know, songs like "Blue Monday", "Weird Science", or "The Lovecats" where almost every note is a hook. Any ideas?

Cabaret Voltaire - Sensoria & Yashar ( a lot of CV could fit this)
New Order - Confusion
Shriekback - Lined Up, My Spine (Is The Bassline), Nemesis
Moev - Alibis
Mick Karn & Midge Ure - After A Fashion
Front 242 - Controversy Between
Gang Of Four - To Hell With Poverty, It's Her Factory

Not necessarily NW but Divine's Native Love(especially Native Love 84) has got to be right up there.
