I personally am a big fan of New Wave, Post Punk & Dark Wave. I also really enjoy Punk & Hardcore from the late 70s - 80s. Let's talk about great artists and albums from this era. Starting with: The Clash.

I loved this band since the first time I heard them. The Clash are definitely in my Top Ten.

Post punk is one of my favourite genres, and you can't have a thread regarding post punk without mention of The Fall. Insanely prolific, consistently great, and they always write the most damned catchy songs. Mark E. Smith is a personal hero of mine.

One of my favorite post-punk bands was The Chameleons. They only put out three albums, and all three are great, but "Strange Times" is probably my favorite.

Lyrics, not to be trusted:
Quote:
"Complicated Game"
I ask myself should I put my finger to the left, no
I ask myself should I put my finger to the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where I put my finger
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the left, no
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the right, no
I said it doesn't really matter where you part your hair
Someone else will come along and move it and it's
Always been the same
It's just a complicated game
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left, no
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where you put your vote
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game
They wanted Tom
They wanted Joe
To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show
They were arrows in a very bad aim
It's just a complicated game
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the left, no
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the right, no
I said God, it really doesn't matter where you put your world
Someone will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated
Game
