umoveme Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I can't find the original video, with a mime in it if I recall, but I loved this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eccGxoJB2nM This is one of my favorite songs of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I love The Fixx. They are my favourite of the "80s" bands. I still listen to Reach The Beach to this day. I *love* the guitar work, the bass lines and Cy's vocals. Here's two of my favourites from them:<snip> I'm almost positive they, along with A Flock of Seagulls, opened for The Police on the Synchronicity tour. I saw that show at what was then Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough. Good show.I saw that tour in Mesa, AZ at a minor league baseball field. It was great! Howard Jones, The Thompson Twins and The Police. There was another band on the bill too, and I think it was A Flock of Seagulls. And I totally get labt's frustration with advertising ruining a great song. I think the most egregious is Rhapsody in Blue (one of the finest compositions by an American composer) which an entire generation knows as "the United Airlines song" And to me, The Cars are new wave. So are Talking Heads, Blondie, The Police and The Pretenders (especially the first album). There were hard rock edges to their music but also a punk attitude with great musicianship. At least, that's my definition of new wave. The Pretenders with a definite new wave feel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7pTFmC8twE And one of Andy Summers coolest guitar solos. It goes nowhere! :haz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbZWr6XwFts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Boy this stuff takes me back to a time when I was a much younger man. Sigh. BTW, just my opinion but I don't see The Cars as New Wave. Straight rock to me. Me too.The keyboards and vocals reflect the New Wave spirit, I think. "Moving in Stereo" is a good example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The English Beat was 80's awesomeness. I prefer there more ska-heavy stuff, but this is their best-known and most New Wave track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Did anyone suggest this one yet?http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0_Pq0xYr3L4 Here is one of my all time favorite New Wave songs:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uejh-bHa4ToI know exactly where that location in the til Tuesday video is. The apartment is located on Concord Square in South End in Boston. I used to live two blocks from it. The restaurant is Davio's when it was located on Newbury Street (it's relocated since then). And the "Carnegie Hall" footage was shot in the Strand Theatre in Dorchester. I didn't know that was Davio's. Of course, I lack any semblance of culture, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. TT's debut album had another great song called Love in a Vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
