It would've been nice to see what Wendy O. Williams would have looked like had she stuck around.

The artist who I absolutely didn't recognize was Adam Ant. A lot of the other ones I'd pass on the street without noticing them, too.

Wow, Billy Idol is not Billy Gravestone, the years have not been kind to him.

But on the plus side, the Go-Go's & Bannarama are still looking cute.

I've always loved this song, the Bannarama girls have always been hot.

Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat looks exactly the same, hes still wearing the same shirt as well.

Toni Basil looks really good when you consider she had a part in the 1969 film, Easy Rider.

AS for Mick Jones, if you bumped into this fella down the pub and he said "buy us half a Mackieson mate, I used to be in the Clash", would you believe him?

I liked their earlier material better then the Hi-NRG dancy stuff of the "Venus" era. Not that I don't like their cover of Venus but the original 1969 Shocking Blue version is the best IMHO. I do like their cover of "Na Na Hey Kiss Him Goodbye Yes they and the Go-Go's as well as the Bangles are still kind of hot.

I have seen this link used in several places including New Wave Outpost and nobody else has complained but I will keep an eye out

Their definition of New Wave seems to be pretty liberal, seeing like Jesus and Mary Chain and Ministry there, but still nice list.

The Human League have managed to look almost the same as they used to.

Debbie Harry has done the best.
