Whooooaaaaa! Nice!

[danny]

Yes. Beautifu; South. Love their Pretty Eyes and 36D. Whatever that means.* ;D

I hope you also appreciate, since you mentioned later bands, the following

The Charlatans
Inspiral carpets
Ride
Boo Radleys
Pale Saints
Love Spit Love

Good thing to know some here are wavers.*

Charlatans UK I dig!



Some of these UK Bands that flourished during the time of the Iron Butterfly were not just artists but* also activists. During that decade, Tatcherism was wreaking havoc to the old social democratic landscape of Britain. Some of these bands could not help but add social commentaries to their songs given the situation.

Thus we find bands taking the left-wing position. Some of more popular and vocal leftwing acts include The Clash, Style Council, and The Housemartins.

Unlike the anarchism/nihilism of the Sex Pistols, these bands are rooted in the traditional* European left.

While the Brits were doing it in UK, The Alarm was championing the cause of working class America.

The Aussies on the other hand had Midnight Oil taking the stand for the Aborigines.

[Dark Knight]

From Shyboys list, i have to disagree with Wang Chung as being New Wave. They are just Brit Pop.

[Dark Knight]

And there are bands that are anti monarchy in the UK

Housemartins - the People Who Grinned Themselves To Death
Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
And that song from the Clash

Anti God/Religion also

XTC - Dear God
Bolshoi - Sunday Morning
