Revisiting some long-lost '80s new wave
I've been listening a lot lately to the '80s new-wave channel at www.radioio.com. I've been introduced to some great songs I've never heard before and some I've long forgotten about, such as ...
"Great Southern Land," Icehouse
"Harley David (Son of a Bitch)," Bollock Brothers - is that Mick Jagger on vocals?!
"In Too Deep," Dead or Alive
"Love an Adventure," Pseudo Echo (it's more disco than new wave)
"Young Manhood," The Wild Swans
"What We All Want," Gang of Four
"Telecommunication," A Flock of Seagulls - I don't care what you say, Derf, they rule!!
"Forbidden Fruit," The Blow Monkeys
"The Lion's Mouth," Kajagoogoo
"King in a Catholic Style," China Crisis
"Blind Vision," Blancmange
"Guitar, Talk, Love & Drums," Gary Myrick
"City for Lovers," Way of the West
"There's More Snakes Than Ladders," Captain Sensible
... have anymore to recommend?!
