Drum Roll please ..... and the Winner of the New Wave Bands contest ..... by the closest of margins...... is THE CLASH!
The outcome was always in doubt and not determined until the final vote was cast.
Two distinct camps were forged throughout the contest, the synth-goth-emo crowd up against diehard punk rockers. Depeche Mode, New Order, Cure and Smiths crowd vs. the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Clash and Undertones fanatics. Kinda like Disco vs. Rock in the 70s.
New Wave music is a vibrant diversified genre, and in light of the narrow victory, I am comfortable recognizing the Finalists as Winners in distinct sub-genres as follows:
The CLASH - Winner in Punk Rock category
The CURE - Winner in Goth Pop category
Thanks goes out to all the loyal fans of New Wave music who cast votes in every Round! Without your regular participation this contest would not have been possible!!
P.S. I am currently ON VACATION but will amend this post with additional materials on the Clash upon my return, i.e. Ranking of their albums and Top 25 Clash songs.
