New Wave Mix Tape

I came across a tape the other day that I made from an LP called K-Tel's The Beat. It's a good compilation of new wave groups. I was shocked to find Mixwit had all of the songs on the tape except for one called You Hit the Spot by Graham Parker. No big loss since it's my least favorite song of the bunch anyway.

The better known songs are part of this lyrics quiz called One Hit Wonders: New Wave Trivia, which just told me:

Don't I know it!

Incidentially, I only have five of these songs on my iPod. It would have been six but the Depeche Mode song didn't make the cut.

I don't know if his Wikipedia entry is accurate, but it's a fascinating read.
