Here's a concept for you to chew on. If New Wave were given a monument for posterity (ala Mt. Rushmore)which personalities would you choose as the 4 most likely candidates?

Florian Shneider, Ralf Hutter, Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur. New Wave wouldn't be what it is without these four.

Not sure about the other three, but one choice would be Delia Derbyshire, the pioneer of electronic music.

I ran the stats and it's Me, DJSoss, Billy Squire, and René Descartes.

Yeah, I'm puzzled by the results.

Although 4 Debbie Harrys would be easier on the eye considering how big these faces would be.
