New Wave 3

I married (and divorced) someone who had never even heard of Depeche Mode. He never listened to any new wave music at all and was completely unaware of most artists. I was surprised people were unaware of them. I listened to New Wave when I was in high school. Depeche Mode was one of my favorite bands when I was a late teenager. I just saw they are going on tour and SO excited.
What is your favorite 80's to early 90's genre, group, etc? Mine Depeche Mode

I was more of a nineties kid, but for 80s I would say Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo. In the nineties I liked the whole Seattle thing -- Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Also Guns n' Roses. ZZ Top for both time periods.

I grew up near Seattle during that time. It was amazing. I never liked ZZ Top. I know few people that like Oingo Boingo. That is amazing!!! I am listening to New Wave on amazon.. doesnt really sound like new wave to me LOL Back in the day we called it alternative. That was before grunge. I graduated high school in 1991

Which metal bands?
I just recently have started listening to Korn and White Zombie again. I did not listen to them when I was younger. I took my son to the Upon a Burning Body concert. It was FUN. It opened me up to a genre of music I was not as familiar with.

i like some extreme metal that you may find hard to enjoy 
but if you liked korn, try Deftones. theyre one of my favorites.
Ive been really into Gojira lately. check out Lamb of God.
PanterA is probably my most favorite metal band
metal/hard rock is a very broad spectrum of subgenres
black sabbath is a classic metal band slayer, obviously tool is great, not strictly metal but they do qualify (especially undertow and aenima)

I am familiar with all but Gojira. I have never liked Tool alot. They have almost a cult following.

Crisis - From 78 - 81, a precursor to the post-punk beginnings of Death in June, but very original in their own right.

Late 80's I listened to a lot of Depeche Mode, New Order, REM, and The Cure.
Early 90's I got into industrial bands such as KMFDM, Ministry, NIN, Front Line Assembly, & White Zombie. Mid 90's I was listened to a lot of shoegaze and dreampop such as Slowdive, Ride, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, and Chapterhouse.

Never fully dug 'New Wave' but I wouldn't put it off if it came on, eh. My sisters were big into that stuff for sure.
Have you an album recommendation you'd suggest for someone to get the truest experience of the New Wave genre, Loladoreen?
Oingo Boingo/ Danny Elfman get too little love from many, IMO.

 Jesting you, of course. Metal elitism is for dickheads
TBH for 80's it's gotta be pop stuff like Corey Hart, The Time, Aztec Camera and Hewy Lewis for me cheesier the better 
90's though, is a lot more wide open for my taste, ESPECIALLY for metal. Mortician sowed the seed for proper NYDM. Cynic put out 'Focus' in the early 90's which was WAY ahead of its time IMO(decades). Opeth started amongst the Swedeath stuff of course and thankfully stepped away from the egregious abuse Boss HM2 Pedals were enduring to that point  Then you've got the sheer amount of bangin stuff Earache records was putting out in 90's like Brutal Truths "Extreme conditions demand extreme responses." I believe Grindcore, Death metal AND Black metal really really started coming into their own in that decade, everything got a whole lot chunkier.
We got the dawn of sludge, the groovy stuff like Corrosion of Conformitys 'Wiseblood' and Crowbars 'Obedience thru suffering' I'd argue, though, that DOWNs 'NOLA' was-for me- the BEST ALBUM OF THE 90's, it's so sick and so accessible!
Shoegaze, as RJ Tubs mentioned, definitely caught my attention more than traditional New wave and I'm respectful of it because it started the domino effect for the 'Post Black Metal' sound I fell in love with from the late 2000s/2010s.
Then looking at Hiphop in the 90's, Company Flow, Pharcyde, Digable Planets, Tribe Called Quest, JMT. Sample heaven with bars to match. Oh and JDilla started fuckin knockin' and janking the Akai.
Of course Bowies 'Earthling' came out at the tail end, and is IMO one of the best, Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costellos "Painted from memory" closed off the decade with an EPIC collaboration.
So much good, well made and enjoyable music coming out of that 20 year period that it's hard to even contain in a thread, let alone a post!
Sorry I'm high and nerding out about dank fuckin music

I stopped seeing a chick solely on the grounds she'd never heard of Devo.

Devo was a little before me. I only know Whip It. My ex husband had never heard of any of them. He listened to rap & heavy metal. I did too but I listened to everything. I hardly listenedcto rap back then.

The Yaz album "Upstairs at Eric's" became burned into my mind in 1983/84 (they were known as Yazoo outside of North America). I think that was a pretty spectacular album. I mean IS spectacular. Yaz was an English synth-pop duo made up of former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet. Vince Clarke was also part of Erasure.

By coincidence I got Television's Marquee Moon cd from the library today. It has often been called the first new wave album.
