My Police vote goes to "Ghost In The Machine". It has a totally unique sound, it flows all the way through, and the songs would only fit on that particular Police album.

Also:
Big Country - The Crossing
The Church - Starfish
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream

<br>Not quite new wave, more like late 80's college rock, but the Connells's "Boylan Heights" is such a seamlesslly terrific listen from start to finish that it's hard to think of it even having individual songs. Egg-roger is another fan of this album. He'll back me up.

I got yer back, bro'.


And I'll also agree w/ boots re: Television.
