With comments like that, you're going to open the door one day and someone in a uniform is going to tell you to sign for the letter.

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

Now what did I tell you???

these guys are now 40's more so, and deserved some
acknowledgement, the fact that they are artist/poets
you cannot discount the possibilities of that human
quality..that is attraction. like me back in the mid-80's
jade weidlin of the go-go's, she sings and can play
a guitar and she's beautiful (in my opinion).
anyway we are in the new wave forum i think every
spectrum of the new wave era needs to be scrutinized..
and this one qualifies...and for xxx your list is
is fine but you forgot carl mccoy,fields of the
nephilim frontman...haha(we need to smile ok)

No way. Elvis would get a bag over his head. Pete Burns, now that's someone who could get me all confused that way.

I thought we were talking about MEN.

I gotta go with Corey Hart. Give me a bottle of muskatel, a few candles, "Careless Whispers" on the stereo...

When I think of "hunky," I think "cheesy magazine poses on a girl's high school locker." Not my thing. I like prefer the idea of "handsome" instead.

I vote John Taylor. Predictable choice, but he looks great now too. Maybe even better.

Sting still looks good, but man was he dreamy in the Don't Stand So Close to Me video, his lips puffed, his arms bulging...

And Midge Ure was a frickin fox.

I misread this entire thread.
Was this all about which new wave artists look the most like a slice of cake?

Elvis Costello a HUNK???

Actually, I got into Elvis (and new wave in general) in 1979 after mistakingly hearing I looked like him!

I was 12 years old, a "Newsday" paperboy with a bleached-blonde bowl haircut and rose colored sunglasses, and into the standard rock stuff (Led Zep, Who, AC/DC) every 12 year old was into at the time. One summer day, at a house where the customer wanted the paper inside the back door, I stumbled across two sunbathing HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN BIKINIS!

As I stopped awkwardly and gave the befuddled look a 12 year old guy who just started noticing girls gives to two HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN BIKINIS, I noticed they were playing the New York's old WPIX-FM on the radio, and one of them says to the other "He's cute. Kind of like (that guy in) Elvis Costello."

Now, I only heard the "cute like Elvis Costello" part, so I rushed out to buy "This Year's Model" to hear what my doppelgänger sounded like. Upon finding the album, I thought I look nothing like that dork, but bought it nonetheless. It was when I got home and opened it up that I realized they meant Bruce Thomas the bass player, but the album was great and got me going on my "New Wave Phase." Thanks to those two high school girls!
