The New Wave (~'70s - '80s)

[rodox_head]

This is a thread dedicated to my favorite era of Rock and Alternative Music; the Post-Punk and New Wave era from the late '70s through the mid '80s.

Post-Punk, New Wave, Punk Rock, Alternative Rock, and Darkwave are all welcome, but no Synthpop please.

In technical terms not the 70s or 80s, but the spirit of post-punk is there.

This compilation is a very good one:

"Heaven Up Here" was one of my first Post Punk albums I listened to when I actually knew of the term; still a personal favorite of theirs. I find it funny that, at least in America, Numan is considered just another '80s one-hit-wonder and pops up on '80s compilations when I think his best work is mostly outside the '80s ; Love his work.

In technical terms not the 70s or 80s, but the spirit of post-punk is there.

I like to call the resurgence in the 2000s "The Nu Wave"

"Heaven Up Here" was one of my first Post Punk albums I listened to when I actually knew of the term; still a personal favorite of theirs.

My record version has seen better days, the sleeve is all torn but it sometimes that adds to the album, blowing the dust off it later to give it a spin.

Numan is considered just another '80s one-hit-wonder and pops up on '80s compilations when I think his best work is mostly outside the '80s ; Love his work.

He released one last year named "Intruder", the NIN influence runs deep through it. I'd give it a listen but it all sounds extremely similar. As usual, lot's of biblical lyrics but not much experimentation.
