A touch of 80's

GTR=Guitar from...Yes and Genesis...Steve...Howe and Hackett

Mr. Mister=anonymous musicians...Welcome To The Real World goes Platinum, no signal from the terrific second album...

Propaganda=Auslandern und Englanderin...band from Düsseldorf, too sophisticated to be catalogued as New Wave, Suzanne Friday, ehm Freytag, wears one of the most intense look of the past century, everybody at ZangTumbTumb knows...

One of my fav euro video of ever

Doctor and the Medics=formed in London as glam tribute band in 1981, in 1986 the big turn, they recorded a 1969 christian song from Mass. native Norman Greenbaum, yes, Greenbaum was an Orthodox Jewish who studied music at Boston University, and sold 2M of this church/beat song, London glamsters rented twins, almost, dancers from Cult's Rain fame video,made a flashy music video and got #1 across Europe

The Hooters=Phillies band, whell know in Europe too, mix of various genres a decade before Dave Matthews...

Adam and the Ants=Hated or Loved Adam and the Burundi drums cross the ocean, and Adam did with his fiancée actress Amanda Donohoe, damsel in distress in the video, and they never come back.

Oingo Boingo=theatrical commune founded in Paris by the Elfman brothers as The Mystic Knights Of The Oingo Boingo...one of the fav bands of Tim Burton, after The Cure surely, the rest is history

Midnight Oil=my fav from the BIG Aussie Wave Trio, the rest INXS and Men At Work, intense lyrics, hilliebillie attitude and a bald singer (in the 80's!!!)

Paul Simon=yes in 1986 you can taste world music, from the same dude of Scarborough Fair...Grammy Award in 1987, Best Album

TOTO=after 30 years is still not rain down in Africa, but they are able to write solid tunes with female names...

Joe Jackson=surely the best britain songwriter, yes not fancy as Ziggy Stardust but solid, try to compare as pard Elaine Caswell (dressed here like Lene Lovich) with Mick Ronson...com'on com'on...we've really got a good thing going...ops...

Judas Priest=I've posted a lot of New Wave lists, maybe you think about your Max Patriot as a Robert Smith fan with Tim Burton haircut (ahahahahah!) nope...in early 80's Italy New Wave was so POP and metal kids like me must move to Albion to see big festivals like Donington, anyway this one from my fav studio album of ever.
In 2011 touring Albion and Emerald with my band we had a gig in B'Ham, when we're in the North Side, near the ex British Steel I saw a big metal eagle in the middle of a square, the same metal eagle on the cover of Screaming For Vengeance...I stopped the tourbus, run down and watch the eagle as a kid with a vivid color toy...I've started cry and sing :

Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
