A new wave thread without Wham, blondie, Culture Club, or berlin. For shame! And I've said before and I will say it again, **** the cure.

I Love Devo. People write them off as a novelty band, but if you have to listen to the lyrics. The stuff may sound simple but it's great. I especialy like Hardcore Vol. 1 & 2.
