I never thought of Talking Heads as New Wave, but I guess maybe they'd qualify.  Once In A Lifetime :wub:

No it hadn't.
It was only just beginning around 1980.
New Wave is the 80s, peak I'd guess around 82/83; Rio is THE New Wave song.
Blue Monday could also sort of be seen to be a peak but as I mentioned New Order lacked the tacky, yuppie style that New Wave was about.

Thank you.

Fucking kids
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I love how you act like you are so old.

Strangely enough, I heard "Once In A Lifetime" at a Dollar General on the Muzak yesterday.  :huh:

:huh:  Duran Duran was the peak of New Wavism in my Junior High School.

Your junior high was 5-10 years behind then.
