Was wondering about this today - can you think of artists that managed to succeed with a *second* band during the new wave years?
Mick Jones - Clash & Big Audio Dynamite
Johnny Lydon - Sex Pistols & Public Image Ltd.
Annie Lennox - Tourists & Eurythmics
Vince Clark - Depeche Mode & Yaz & Erasure
I guess Joy Division/New Order, Smiths/Morrissey are examples too, but there must be others???

This is weird - I had Captain Sensible's "Wot" playing through my headphones as I opened this message, so there's my first vote.

bpdp3, you're thinking of Tony James from Generation X / SS Sputnik, not Brian James from the Damned. Brian James went on to be in Lords Of The New Church with Stive Bators of The Dead Boys, and members of Sham 69 and The Barracudas.
Bob Mould: Husker

Adam and the Ants = Bow Wow Wow (minus Adam, of course)= Chiefs of Relief (guitarist Matthew Ashman) Republica (drummer Dave Barabossa)
Bananarama = Shakespeare's Sister (Siobhan Fahey)
Bauhaus = Love and Rockets, Tones

Steve Jones and Paul Cook -- Sex Pistols > The Professionals > Neurotic Outsiders (w/John Taylor from Duran Duran)
