 | |||||||||||
|
Criteria: - These artists were chosen on thier popularity, originality, impact, influence, and talent in 'New Wave' music. 'New Wave' evolved from 'Punk' in the late 1970s being less anti-social and more radio (and MTV) friendly, hitting it's high in '83 and began fading around '87. It can be best described as mixing the energy of Punk with a bit of 'Glam', 'Pop', 'Art-Rock' & 'Dance' and relied heavily on synthesizers. | |||||||||||
