Not a classic, but I had to say it.

I think, in a way, the sound of Arcadia is a bit edgier than Duran Duran as a whole (which sounds silly to say since they are one in the same) and one that I preferred.

Quite honestly, I feel like bringing out my old Duran Duran and giving it a listen again. As a side bit of trivia, John Taylor is a nudist and I remember he stated that he did not enjoy wearing clothes in public or private, preferring nudism . Guess they could have raised the ticket prices if he had just ditched them during the shows

Another good band for this category would be Icicle Works.

Another one (and my edit again) would be Dragon (although I don't think they really made it outside of Australia/New Z I don't think. Great band though.).

The Icicle works were a band I was listening a lot to for a while, especially for the first two albums which still remain among my favorites of the 80's.

Can we consider Lloyd Cole and the commotions as a new wave band?
In the 80's, i was addicted to some of their tracks.
