The Flying Lizards
(1979, Virgin)

I wish more New Wave bands followed the avant-pop path. Many did, but few with as much charisma as this excellent album.

Ric Ocasek
Beatitude (Geffen, 1982)

Other than the Cars debut, Beatitude is the most consistent & solid album of Ric's career.

Haircut One Hundred
Pelican West (Arista, 1982)

The excellent debut & only album featuring prime mover Nick Heyward. Super smart songwriting and slick pop & Brit r&b. Among the most musically sophisticated albums in the New Wave genre.
