      It's honestly nuts how perfect that album is. And how incredibly ahead of it's time it sounds.
      There are several Talking Heads songs/albums that I honestly think would turn heads if released today as new modern music. Nothing about it sounds dated somehow. There's PLENTY of music I love that is great, but sounds SO of the time it came from. INXS album "Kick" is one that immediately comes to mind. It sounds hilariously late 80s. Almost like it was made today...in an attempt to distil that late 80s, scooped mids, gated reverb, antiseptically clean, quasi new-jack-swing sound. But still a great album.
      But then there are other albums....that are objectively timeless and sound like they're from every decade...or no decade. Remain in Light is one of those. I'd also say....Revolver(but _not_ Sgt Pepper). Also much of the music of The Police. And maybe Tool's Aenima and Lateralus. OH....and Animal Collective's brilliant Merriweather Post Pavilion.
      Albums that don't scream "This is when I was made!" and instead work simply due to the music being effortlessly excellent.

      @@pablovargasfuentes817 Television were sharing the stage w/ all the punk pioneers at CBGBs, so chronologically they're not post-punk. The punk genre was not monolithic in its first wave, the NYC wave. Looking back, bands like Talking Heads and Blondie, who were also stars of the CB's scene are rightly sorted out as new wave. But a whole slew of bands, like Television, the Dictators, Suicide, Hot Lunch, 8 Eyed Spy, etc are harder to categorize. They were too hard-edged to be new wave, but not in the Ramones minimalist mindset either.

    Power, Corruption and Lies has achieved such a legend status that I feel it often outshines another excellent New Order record: Brotherhood. While it is a much less groundbreaking and innovative album, it should by no means be ignored as I feel it iterated on Power, Corruption and Lies reaching and even surpassing it in many aspects.

  • @SD_Marc

    The way you made the introduction to New Order was funny, like you were desperately trying to make them recognised in their own right, and bury any of the troubled existence of Joy Division. Usually most people would describe New Order as "Oh, it's just Joy Division after Ian Curtis died." It goes to show how dependent New Order is on the context of Joy Division, and how the shadow of Ian Curtis still looms dark and tall above them.

    Great New Wave Top 5! Parallel Lines is one of the LP’s that is classic from start to finish. You didn’t point out that ‘Fade Away Radiate’ featured Robert Fripp on Lead G. Also, your emphasis on TH Remain In Light is justified! An incredibly bold production! It’s ‘flip side’ being the monumental ‘My Life In The Bush of Ghosts’ which was also Produced by Byrne/Eno at the same time! Also, it seems New Order straddled Post Punk (Movement) and New Wave (Power, Corruption and Lies).

    It's honestly nuts how perfect *Remain in Light* is. And how incredibly ahead of it's time it sounds.
    I honestly think it would turn heads if released today as new modern music. Nothing about it sounds dated somehow. There's PLENTY of music I love that is great, but sounds SO of the time it came from. INXS album "Kick" is one that immediately comes to mind. It sounds hilariously late 80s. Almost like it was made today...in an attempt to distil that late 80s, scooped mids, gated reverb, antiseptically clean, quasi new-jack-swing sound. But still a great album lol.
    But then there are other albums....that are objectively timeless and sound like they're from every decade...or no decade. Remain in Light is one of those. I'd also say....Revolver(but _not_ Sgt Pepper). Also much of the music of The Police. And maybe Tool's Aenima and Lateralus. OH....and Animal Collective's brilliant Merriweather Post Pavilion.
    Albums that don't scream "This is when I was made!" and instead work simply due to the music being effortlessly excellent.

    The five highlighted albums are my meat and drink, the soundtrack of my life. Devo's live freedom of choice theme merging into whip it from power of positive thinking is stronger, better than stand alone whip it on freedom of choice. If there's one band fantastic band from the era that nobody has heard of I could put you on to it is japanese band jagatara.

    I think Speaking In Tongues is a more poppy and digestible album than Remain In Light, if one is not super familiar with new wave. Otherwise, solid list. I get that you’re deep cuts, but I think Unknown Pleasures is the best thing the New Order guys ever did.

    There is a little band very well known on my country called "Descontrolados" who were called new wave and post-punk by a magazine, i don't really call them post-punk but the music is really new wave-ish. Check out their EP "Piedad"

    Good reviews. That said, I always had a problem in separating new wave from post-punk and to make my mind up about the pertinence of separating the two. To my mind remain in light and devo are post-punkers but, all in all, is good music that matters.

    • @KaizerBeatz-vf9wf

      They are similar. Post punk is just dark and gothic new wave to me. Then new wave with a bunch of synths and drum machines becomes synth pop.

    • @jayjayfeday7304

      Also remain in light, probably the best new wave record period.

    • @somebraveapollo8211
      @somebraveapollo8211 3 года назад +1

      It's more electronica than new wave. The latter is more guitar-based and ragged than the majorly calculated, sequenced perfectionism of 'Violator', or any album of theirs from 1984-1997.

    • @fuckamericanidiot
      @fuckamericanidiot 3 года назад

      Yeah Violator is definitely not new wave

    • @vsander09
      @vsander09 3 года назад +1

      @@somebraveapollo8211 this is not accurate. Synth pop and new wave overlap heavily. The idea that new wave is always guitar oriented is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read.
