True - Spandau Ballet
Soooo hard to choose just one! But I guess I've got to say that Private Idaho or Planet Claire by the B-52s would be at the top of the list. Along with Gary Newman's 'Cars'. And Once in a Lifetime or Life During Wartime by the Talking Heads. Oh...but at the top would probably be The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now"! Aaahhh....so many GREAT songs to choose from!

Duran Duran "The Reflex"
Oh ... this is SO my type of music, it's hard to choose just ONE song. If I have to choose one, it would probably be Josie Cotton's "Johnnie Are You Queer?" -- but only because it appeared in the BEST New Wave movie EVER -- Valley Girl!! 2nd Choice is the B-52's "Rock Lobster"!

I want to comment even though I know I am not eligible to win because I am in Canada. (Hope I won't mess up your contest.)
I hadn't thought of New Wave music in a long time though I, too, was a student in the 1980s. Thanks for the reminder, LOL!
The stand out new wave band for me is Devo though I see they bill themselves as an American rock band so maybe they weren't New Wave at all. Anyway, their album was one of the handful of albums I owned when I went to university...
I'm listening to the song and watching the video, which I do not remember ever having seen before, right now via Youtube.
Tainted love is awesome!

Hard decision! It has to be:
The Plimsouls' "Million Miles Away", because it gives me such a dreamy feeling. It's a magical song.
