Yea...that "other band" from Liverpool. Popular in late 70's early 80's post-punk movement...on Zoo Records. Any fans? :tongue:

Count me in. You can find them on XM's 1st Wave & Pandora. Matter of fact they're still touring & are coming to the states later this year. As I'm writing this, "The Killing Moon" started playing on XM.

I'm a big fan of the music from the 2nd British invasion during the '80's. The Cure, The Cult, Thompson Twins, ABC, Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby, Spandau Ballet, Crowded House, Madness, Simply Red, Joe Jackson, Simple Minds, Howard Jones, New Order, The Smiths, Tears for Fears & on & on.

Let's include Yaz & although they're from the "land down under" I like to include them. The Fixx, The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, Midnight Oil & INXS.

The Fixx! Their guitar player, Jamie West Oldham...he's a favorite of mine. Him and the guy from Flock Og Seagulls, and the guy in Adam and The Ants. New Wave guitarists rock! drinker :tongue:

The main riff in Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" is classic!

Agreed! I totally forgot about Flock of Seagull & Adam & the Ants. Don't forget Billy Idol's lead guitarist. He was over looked in my book. Remember when 2 of the guitar players from Duran Duran got together with Robert Palmer & the drummer from Chic, Tony Thompson, to form Power Station? "Some Like it Hot" is one of my all time favorites.

You have me there. I'll have to check it out. Sounds like we need to get together with a 6 pack of either Guinness or Smithwick's & have a good old time listening to New Wave music.

The college station just busted out with Echo and the Bunnymen's "All That Jazz" from their first LP "Crocodiles" so now I'm looking for my copy of the album that is buried amongst the archives here in my apartment. This could take awhile. Meantime...I remembered I had started an Echo and the Bunnymen thread awhile back. And here it is! laugh :tongue:
