I do not particularly dispute your claims of new wave on the other songs as they are new wave in some fashion...
However I feel the most opposed to putting The Police with those two tracks as new wave and those two examples are Reggae Rock since The Police are actually a super weirdly successfully group who did Reggae rock, YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH REGGAE ROCK! LET ALONE FROM WHITE GUYS!
There are some of The Police songs that can be called New wave (Largely due to how vague New wave is to define.) but Roxanne and Don't Stand So close to Me, are not those.
Can they be called a New wave band? sorta kinda? Easier to say "They had a New wave period." like with alot of bands of the period.
However the thing that actually gives me a crisis of new wave....what?...YES I have coined the term "crisis of new wave" which makes me question. What IS New Wave? Is THIS New Wave?
Haysi Fantayzee - John Wayne is a Big Leggy (someone posted them in the post a worse song than the one before thread....and I have fascinated by them since.....oh and the crisis of New wave thing....and I kind of like them....and hate them.)
Officially they are labelled New Wave....its official cos Wikipedia told me..... However in my mind I go "Are they New Wave?...they sort of are?...yet not...sort of sounds a little new wavy.....but not."
Haysi Fantayzee is my Schroedinger's cat....
Toyah sings it best.
As well as being pretty uber New wave in doing so.
Which youtube then just tells me to play Hazel O'Connor and makes my New Wave Fizz box explode in pleasure.
KNOW WHAT!? TOMORROW I WATCH THE NEW WAVE MOVIE BROKEN GLASS! It must be New Wave cos Vernon Kay off the telly said it on this show thing he did with Hazel performing.
New Wave overdose! WOOOOO!
