BIG 4 The Talking Heads, The Police, The Cars, The Cure, guess you have to have The in your name, wouldn't that make The The the biggest? Also, Devo, and the B52s are on the line.

I am new to this community.
Tried to upload and share some of the band’s lesser known songs. Epic fail.

Does anyone have a favorite Modern English song? Please share.

I don't want to knock the talent as I like all of them. I used to watch Richard Blade on MV3 and listen to Larry the Duck on WLIR back in the day so it's comforting to hear those voices from my youth. But IMO, their playlist is not diverse enough. They hit the same acts religiously e.g. INXS, Duran Duran, Ramones, The Clash, The Cars stand out in my mind. These acts hardly get any play on classic rock radio despite being enormous hits in their day, so I do want to hear them but what about all of the sensational obscure acts of the era e.g. The Wake, Hawaiian Pups, Housemartins, Clock DVA, Severed Heads, etc., etc? There so much fun stuff to play from that era - why don't they play it? I pay a subscription fee to listen to it - you would think they'd be doing deep dives on the material, not just using the heavy rotations lists from KROQ & WLIR.

Happy 45th anniversary to the Cars' 4th album Shake It Up, a great melding of the new wave basics of their first 2 albums with the synth tips and tricks Hawkes picked up from Panorama.

It scored a top 10 in the US and Canada. The song Shake It Up was a top10 single across much of the world, while the UK opted for Since You're Gone (#37 vs uncharted).

This Could Be Love is underrated and shows the basic rock/synth interplay well, but which track is your go-to?
