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)

The Fixx has always been close to my heart. As has Roxy Music.
Would The Cure's "Disintegration" be considered New Wave?

Mark Burgess released the
"Sun and the Moon" after the Chameleons.
Very much worth a listen. 

George Marino and Barry are Diamont listed in the credits.
I had the record years ago, it was a high quality production.

@simao Roxy Music and The Cure? Of course they're new wave. The Fixx were really good too.
