I do! Eurythmics and Blondie are my fave! I can get down with Cyndi Lauper as well. I didn't know REM was considered New Wave? If so, then count them in!

I don't consider Style Council new wave, although everyone says it is. That "Ever Changing Moods" song sounds more like boring pop to me. But the other groups you mentioned are nice.
