New age bands are a treasure trove of one hit wonders

I know this much is true

DerekJohnson

WAVE ...!!11!1!!!

LebamDawg

I don't even know what new wave music is

YellowSnow

Talking Heads and everyone else is a distant 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc

PurpleThrobber

Scritti Politti is the shit. Woefully underrated.

BennyBeaver

The Cure is my Jam. Trey Parker was spot on when he said Disintegration was the best album EVER!! May Will have a bottle of wine and listen to that album tonight.

I love all this shit. Salt Lake was one of if not the biggest hotbed for this genre. It's even making a comeback. Two local radio stations are pumping this shit out like it's the 80s again. But better, there was only one station back then.

I don't like Depeche mode though

Something about them bugs me

It's like oddly boring or something

I like DM, "Some great reward" and "Violator" are two of my favorite albums. "Music for the Masses" will get some play when I'm getting fucked up as well. I work with a lot of millennials and they have no concept of listening to the entirety of an album. The progression of how an artist builds a record is part of what makes bands great. That and the ability to translate the album live. If the kids don't listen to ten genres of music in an hour and a half off the "playlist" they all get bored. I'm slow strategy as fuck!

Blue October rated wae tu lo.

Kreist just saw they had Simple Minds at #2. They had one fucking album and their lead singer is more known for being Chrissy Heinz' bitch than any of their fucking music. Tears for Fears should be higher.


HOWEVER they're all still chasing the Fixx.
