This is really great and doesn't get the praise it deserves because it's compared to Talk Talk's discography and not the New Wave and Synthpop genre.

When I was young, the only pornography to be had was an old box of magazines my dad's buddy left behind when he left.

It seemed like there was always one pictorial in every 80s mag with a trashy new wave girl - especially in Penthouse

Those were always my favorite.

Laurie Andersons - Big Science is a great post-punk new-wave album, very experimental and artsy.

She was married to Lou Reed when he died
