I have never heard any of these before.

Definitely worth listening to at least some of these.

 

What if I have never had the slightest interest in any of these bands before? Is it worth it still?

Well you could at least relisten to one of them, and see where you find yourself liking/disliking and go from there

I've got Blondie.

 

Blondie is a VERY close second for me.

 

"Parallel Lines" and The Cars debut are perfect albums start to finish.

You know I don't think of the Cars as new wave really, more melodic rock. Am I wrong?

I view Blondie as Punk / New Wave and The Cars as Rock / New Wave.

A couple of goodies here .... Cars, Blondie & Elvis Costello albums are very good.

 

Talking Heads is OK but I was never a big fan.

 

But for overall invention and weirdness my vote goes to Devo.

 

But Paul, you didn't mention The Police do I hear you say?? ...... I wouldn't give that w@nker Sting the steam off my turd.
