The Cure
The Smiths
Siouxie
Depeche Mode
New Order
English Beat

I won't pick the songs, that would be too hard. You could actually
do a full Cover Album of each band!
Also there are some good Cover bands of these groups that do a
good "Tribute" to them.
Most notable are(On Myspace):
Blasphomus Rumors
Still Ill
NOCTURNA
The Cured
Rio
The Smiths
Siouxie
Depeche Mode
New Order
English Beat
U2
Oingo Boingo

It's got a list of all the songs we play or have played live.
Alot less new wave than i personally want, but there is a super long list of songs on the "to be learned" list....getting the rest of the band to learn them is always the issue....
