the best produced new wave/power pop records...

[georgie rockwood]

what's the best produced new wave and or power pop records/albums in your opinion from a production point of view (polished sound etc...)

here's my lists & thoughts.....
1.THE SHOES...."PRESENT TENSE & TONGUE TWISTER" albums.(brilliant production on all levels)
2.DOUBLE...."THE CAPTAIN OF HER HEART" (timeless production & simple song & hook)
3.PHIL SEYMOUR..."PHIL SEYMOUR" debut album (brilliant & crisp production,especially with the song,"precious to me".brilliant production of the drums & vocals.phil seymour's debut album is still considered the best power pop release ever )
4.NAKED EYES...."NAKED EYES" album for the U.S./"BURNING BRIDGES" for the rest of the world (great production of combination of vocals/keyboards & melody)
5.A-HA....HUNTING HIGH & LOW album (the perfect production from start to finish,especially with the songs,"take on me" & "hunting high & low")
