I always say the "Mt. Rushmore" of New Wave & Punk are...

ROXY MUSIC &
DAVID BOWIE (for "inventing" New Wave..with a little inspiration from the Kinks)
LOU REED &
IGGY & THE STOOGES (for "inventing" Punk..with a little inspiration from the Who)

The Buggles
Missing Persons
Go-Go's
B-52's

Lol, looks like we are in full agreement here.

Not my top 4 but I believe this to be true:

Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
The Pet Shop Boys
OMD, The Cure or New Order (tied for 4th, can't make up my mind) [:D]

I think the popular mindset of New Wave gravitates toward:

The Cure
Depeche Mode
Talking Heads
Culture Club

Depeche Mode

New Order

OMD

Talking Heads

...and as much as I would like to include the Cure , I really never thought of them as New Wave.

I think I'll suggest at this stage that there simply is _NO_ Big 4 for the NW genre. Way too much influence and talent spead across many countries and artists?!

Big 10!? :-)

First off, nice quote provided by Woodland [:D]

My BIG 4 might have to be:

1. New Order
2. Depeche Mode
3. OMD
4. Pet Shop Boys

Let me know what you think.

I think there may be an American Big 4 and a UK based Big 4.. maybe even also an Australian/NZ Big 4... but I still can't see there being a worldwide big 4 that everyone would attempt to agree on.

Here Flock of Seagulls are one hit wonders who everyoen still pays out because of strange hair and poor production values. No where near a big 4.
