Duran Duran's first few were pretty great. I agree with all listed except that DM's pre-Violator stuff so much better. I know Violator got them new fans but Black Celebration, Music For The Masses, 101 Live...all way better IMO
Best 80s New Wave
I haven't seen too many posts on here regarding the '80s new wave/new romantic music scene. A lot of folks (including myself) have original vinyl copies of these artists, then bought the CD when they came out and are now buying the re-releases on 180g vinyl. What are some of your favorites?
My favs are:
1. Pet Shop Boys - (Please, Actually, Introspective, Behaviour and Very)--CD and vinyl
2. New Order - Low Life, is this on vinyl? Technique is great on vinyl
3. Depeche Mode - Violator
4. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
5. Propaganda - Secret Wish (Vinyl and CD)

Actually the preferred vehicle for these artists is actually the 12" single! The impact and sound quality of "Duel" in a clean 12" is visceral https://www.discogs.com/Propaganda-Duel/release/29009 And this is a demo disc of the first order https://www.discogs.com/a-ha-Crying-In-The-Rain/release/1255568 Most of these releases are dirt cheap and will wipe the floor with both the originals or any reissue |
