Wire - Ahead - 1987

Wire was a punk band from the late 70's but released this song in the 80's. A little less punk, more pop, but I think it just sounds more like Post punk.

The Normal - Warm Leatherette - 1978

The start of new wave. Daniel Miller, the founder of Mute Records. He only released this song and another on 7" vinyl. Daniel also produced Depeche Mode, Erasure, Wire, and DAF. This is a classic song.

The Mission UK - Severina - 1987

Such a classic song to me. It never gets old and just a great song. I know "Wasteland" is their more popular song but I love this song a lot more. Sounds even better live in this video.
