Would any or all of U2 be considered New Wave? Ive always been of the opinion that some does and doesnt fit the genre
Then you didn't watch The Pretenders videos.Four pages of music and I didn't hear a single note from a real instrument. All that Synthesized music almost sent my heart into arrythmia.
The Police are more of a ska band. U2, as much as I dislike most of their stuff, is definitely rock.That's a tough call kinda like The Police or REM from that same era. None really used a lot of synthesizers, electronic drums or other electronics that usually characterizes New Wave. Kinda why I questioned the Violent Femmes, more Rock/Post Punk music
Nice drop Foxy!Great thread idea...
Could post so many but will start with this.
