CD#3 Mainstream New Wave (or bands which have commercial appeal).
Depeche Mode, New Order, A Flock of Seagulls, Camouflage, B52s, Ice House, The Psychedelic Furs, A House, Fiction Factory, Pet Shop Boys? OK I go for Suburbia for the sake of the group being represented, OMD? Unfortunately we can't bypass that one, Erasure? Ouch! I guess A Little Respect will do, Alphaville, B-Movie, Berlin, Big Country, Classix Nouveaux? Not sure if it would fit here, Cocteau Twins, Duran Duran? I wonder if U could forget them, probably not, Flesh For Lulu, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Stone Roses, The Go-Betweens, Billy Idol, Information Society, James, Lloyd Cole, Men Without Hats, Midnight Oil, Gary Numan? Not Cars again and again!, The Ocean Blue, Pseudo Echo, Real Life, Red Flag, Simple Minds, Sparks, The Stranglers, The Style Council, Ultravox, The Thompson Twins , Talk Talk, When In Rome, Tears For Fears, Yaz etc,etc I guess we could easily forget bands like Human League, A-ha, ABC and similar bands...[:D]
CD#4 Obscure Bands
I guess Mike could provide that one but I would like to see Fay Ray, Flaming Mussolinis, Gangway, Malaria, Balaam and the Angel, Howard Devoto, Ms Kimberly, Dragon, Dole, Voice of America, Red Box, H2O, 1000 Violins, The Passmore Sisters, FZ13, Under Two Flags, Psi Com, Q Lazzarus, Krew etc, etc
So the question is when will we see the Mother of all NW compilations? [:D]
