New Wave by non-New Wavers - -

[bpdp3]

I'm thinking of acts that are/were not really new wave in nature but that did songs clearly influenced by the sound - - who would you add to this (not yet much of a) list - -

"Clones" by Alice Cooper

"Mad Love" lp by Linda Rondstadt

[Frau_Blucher]

Marianne Faithful - Broken English

Celia Cruz (albeit with David Byrne) - Loco de Amour

Jon and Vangelis - Friends of Mr Cairo

[Polly]

You can't get more un-new wave than Enrique Iglasis (however it's spelt) & he has a version of Yazoo's Only You. Judy Collins also covered that song.

[Frau_Blucher]

Oh yeah, I also remember hearing John Lennon's "Just Like Starting Over" a lot on "new wave radio". If that's the criteria, what about these too:

Mick Jagger (albeit with Bowie) - Dancin in the Streets
Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love
Graham Parker -

Neil Young's '82 album 'Trans'? Has anyone heard this? I haven't but was told the sound was quite a departure for him. Relying heavily on synths and distorted whatnot.

Marianne Faithfull's entire album "Broke English" is very new wave, and a masterpiece. Awesome album! Also, she collaborated with Rubert Hine.

Also, you are right about Neil Young's "Trans." It is also very experimental and could, I suppose be called '

On 'Trans', the track "Mr Soul" was a totally tricked out and trippy pre-pre-electronica cover of one of his Buffalo Springfield era songs. It got some brief airplay as a rock station single back in 1982
I remember the DJ's always making on air cracks a

[West_Matthews]

A lot of the stuff Bowie did around that time was new wavey, i.e. "Modern Love" and "Theme From 'Cat People' (Putting Out The Fire)"

[sirzap]

Another long time classic rock innovator not widely known for tasty Synth Nu Wave flavored tracks is The Alan Parsons Project.
Some examples:
'Games People Play'
'Sirius' (intro) & 'Eye in The Sky'
'Standing on Higher Ground' Featuring the unmistakabl

Derivative yes, but you're mentioning some really great songs IMHO (coincidence? hmmmm).

So how about Cheap Trick - "Dream Police"? Or Peter Gabriel - "Games Without Frontiers" or Cyndi Lauper (oh oh... now entering the new wave danger zone.. pull up

David Bowie's "Fashion" got a lot of play in the clubs. I also remember hearing the 12" version of "Cat People" really late and really loud in Danceteria one night in NY. It gave me chills. Much better than the lp version.
