* The ULTIMATE Top New Wave Song Poll *

[Frau_Blucher]

I know we've done this before, but with so many new faces and likely evolving tastes, I think it's worth doing again. Here's what I would ask of you:

1. Post your Top 50 New Wave songs of all time (not just of right now) in order of 1 to 50. It can be "top", "favorite" or a mix of both - you interpret.
2. To make tabulation easier, do not post any numbers and just list "Band - Song" just like that.
3. Try to spell the band and song correctly, even down to "The" when present.

Here's what I'll do:

1. Regurgitate a massive ORGY of statistics including THE NEW SEMIOFFICIAL NWO TOP 100 SONGS
2. Provide clusterings of who chose similar songs to whom and what bands appeared in similar clusters to others.
3. I'll close the polls whenever the submissions finally trickle off but not tabulate until then so you can constantly edit.
4. If you don't submit a new list, I'll include everything from the old list as well:
