Top 5 - New Wave Songs

This is a different type of Top 5 list because these aren't actually my Top 5 New Wave songs. Instead these are the five songs I'd suggest adding to Cultural Offering's New Wave playlist. List in no particular order. Enjoy:

1. Fascination Street - The Cure
2. Straight to Hell - The Clash
3. Hey Saint Peter - Flash N the Pan
4. Bedbugs and Ballyhoo - Echo and the Bunnymen
5. Love Spreads - Stone Roses

These were basically off the top of my head but they are songs I regularly would play on a bar's jukebox. Also not sure if The Clash technically counts as "New Wave" but Combat Rock came out in 1982 so I'm going to count it. There's many, many other songs that could be added. Great period for music.
