Yep, they were. I thought of putting down disco, but it seemed like overkill. Thanks for showing me that my first instinct was the right one.

You can also add in Bubblegum Music to Eddy Grant's music as well.Because when he was with his band from the 60's,The Equals,they did a lot of Reggae and also Bubblegum songs too.

<br>To further cloud the issue, Eddy also gets lumped in with disco as well.

Walking on Sunshine & other songs were played quite a bit in the discos in the late 70s.

I also think the goal of these stations was not just 'new wave' but simply 'new' music, so they tried to break artists that wouldn't get airplay anywhere else. I mean, I personally don't get how ska or rockabilly are in ANY way new wave, but LIR played them both. That doesn't mean I don't like the stuff, it just is kind of weird to program, you know, "She's Sexy & 17" between the Metro and Just Can't Get Enough...

Being from the UK, the term "New Wave" always surprises me !

Eddy Grant certainly wasn't considered part of any "wave" here.

He did however have a decent long career
