Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the '80s, Vol. 4

This was a piece of piss for me: 'Generals and Majors'.

Sometimes I appreciate the genius of XTC. Sometimes the band annoys the hell out of me. This song rides the divide, imo.

Translator!

Love that undertones song, monroes and xtc

i don't know a lot of these songs, anyone want to do a Spotify?

God I forgot about the existence of "Everywhere That I'm Not" until this second. There are flaws (e.g. I can't accept "imposs") but in many ways, still, wow, what a song.

1. Devo
2. Translator
3. Soft Cell

Someone's already created YouTube playlists of all the volumes of this series. Search for 'Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the '80s' and then select the Playlist filter (under Result Type). Not sure if this will work:

That Translator song is like a great lost Go-Betweens track.

Soft Cell. But Translator a close second. That song was ubiquitous on modern rock radio right up until probably 1991, I don't know if I've heard it since?

Greg Kihn for me.

thanks for that youtube link agnosy!

Really got into this series last year. I even got the 2 vhs video volumes. Volume 3 is best, think the series takes a big quality dip after vol. 5.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ended up voting for "Girls on Film."

there are a lot of real good ones here but "Freedom of Choice" is the only one that gets lodged in my brain for a month at a time (well, "Generals and Majors" does too, but in a much more obnoxious way)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

High five to two other Kings voters!

I almost voted for The Kings. Ended up voting for The Members. Songs about having or not having a job.
