This is my vote. It was kind of hard to put together. I don't really think Violator is New Wave, but it's close enough and definitely for new wave fans.

I don't know enough about Elvis Costello, but I think Armed Forces is considered his best early album. Not gonna argue the point as his first three are all highly respected new wave, but I'm just putting it out there since we seem to be in new wave discussion mode.
But This Year's Model has "Pump It Up", one of the greatest pop songs of all time, so I support the current inclusion for that alone.
