Top New Wave Albums & Songs from New Wave die-hards

[Disco Dave]

Similar to this forum's top Disco 500/700 lists which does a great job of representing the essentials as well as some of the lesser known fanatic favorites, I also helped organize a combined voting & tabulation of the best New Wave Albums & Songs for another forum. This too was based on people who were rather obsessed and knowledgable of the subject matter and who veered from the more pop oriented sounds and overplayed anthems.

Here is the website I created with the results from the New Wave Outpost's votes. It also might not be perfect and some "popular" tunes may have been given the shaft, but its a great representation of that era from a New Wave point of view.

Enjoy. :D

Bronski Beat - Small town boy is a very recognized New Wave tune. It's on a ton of those compilations as well.
