Looking forward to seeing your choices. I have a Spectrum track picked. The preparation has been a great listen already. Will be a good one.
Thanks James for the challenge. Had a heap of fun thinking about the songs.

#NewWaveNovember Start tomorrow.
Everyone’s opinion of a New Wave artist is different but if you’re struggling for inspiration, here’s a graphic I did for a Post-Punk challenge on Twitter in 2022. It lists artists from the Simon Reynolds book Rip It Up and Start Again, some of these crossover.

Here’s the final playlist from the votes cast. A selection of the most popular artists and songs chosen but unfortunately due to hashtag issues during the challenge there may be some omissions. Thanks as always to everyone who participated.

I suppose technically it should be a top eighty (rather than sixty). I might expand it over the next few days as there are some crackers that just missed the sixty but would make a top eighty… 🎧💿
7 studio albums in the decade. Robert was keen for work.

I can remember being upset that Push wasn't on Staring At The Sea (I didnt know it hadn't been a single) and having to think hard about which album to purchase.

So I got a job, had to make those decisions easier in future🤣
Great album and have a couple of favourite tracks

Thick as Thieves
Little Boy Soldiers
Smithers-Jones &
Eton Rifles
