Given all the inquiries about NW on this board and the wealth of expertise from the resident gurus, would anybody be interested in creating a New Wave FAQ? Mike has an excellent "brief history" on this site which should serve as a starting point.
We could create an outline and manage it "open source" style. Possible topics: NW genres, quintessential NW bands/albums/songs, NW milestones, famous NW concerts, NW moments on TV (just saw U2 appearance on Tom Snyder show on VH1!), NW family tree, NW remakes, NW in commercials, etc. Last summer I compiled a NWO survey on favorite bands... could do it again.
I know AMG has lots of NW info, but I've been blasted on more than one occassion for quoting them too often. There are probably other FAQs out there too, but we should create our own... or is it Overkill? [;)]

Great call Dave. There is such a wealth of knowledge here it would be a shame not to put it to good use. I thought i knew a lot about music till i met you guys. [8D]
Hey Mike, can we have avatars or is that too trendy [:D][:D][:D]

I'd love to contribute what little knowledge I have to the project. I listen to a lot of modern music; I'd be happy to give some artists that are 80s-influenced, something along those lines.
