The problem is the term New Romantic, so naff. Some great bands and records came from that late 70s early 80s new wave era. The electronic, Numan, Kraftwerk, OMD, Visage, Ultravox etc and the more exotic Duran, Japan and Associates.
All really the bastard children of Bowie and Bolan tho, for which im very grateful

No offence, but the iconic Kraftwerk were recording albums in the early 70's. They are head and shoulders above everyone else you have listed.

It's like comparing the Beatles/Kinks to Britpop bands.

Yep. Actually Bowie was influenced by early Kraftwerk and Neu! which influenced him to record albums like Low to Scary Monsters that created all the ‘Gary Numans’ & ‘Boy Georges’ that came soon after.

No offence taken, you are right, i was listing them with other electronic bands i loved at the time, but yes, they were just as influential as Bowie etc

Juan Toro is in Colombia watching Jungle live? Time for Mr Walker’s third (or was it fourth?) comeback?

Blimey. I think I may still have a single of theirs from their previous Raped guise. It was actually my sister's or her friend's. I remember seeing it at the time thinking WTF?!

Handsome family

 

[Down Under]

Whoa? Does M have a perv who secretly films under ladies' skirts in his band? Isn't that Sam's prerogative?
(Perfect timing, I've just finished watching "She said"... )

edit: let's hope he at least knows the woman and just doesn't post pictures of female strangers on escalators as a hobby.
Crickets

That's his wife and she is half Japanese, half Columbian. His son was probably standing right behind him. They travel together often.

 

[Les Tameside]

Handsome family

Great band, and one of a handful not influenced by Roxy Music.

 

[Orange Crush]

Oh, the Handsome Family! They are a great band. God, am I pleased I've seen them MANY times. They should be loved by many more people...and not just because of the True Detective t.v. series.
