If I had to classify Muse, I would call them cashcow techno, which sounds way cooler then I intended it to...

Ever heard "The Primitaves", "Darling Buds", "Fairground Attraction" or "Till Tuesday"? They are/were female fronted but very good.

You might like The Church, Tears for Fears, Ultravox, Modern English, Nick Kershaw, Alphaville, Icicle Works, Fiction Factory, Howard Jones, OMD, The Bolshoi, The Waterboys, The Dream Academy, A Flock of Seagulls, Celebrate the Nun (If you ever heard of Scooter, this is where he started)...so many but there is a start

Simple Minds was my fav band in the 80's. Sparkle in the rain and New gold dream are two fantastic albums.

How about some synth pop. I love it.

I always liked the Police, the Cars, and REM. Those three bands were on heavy rotation in my house when I was a kid. But I don't know if REM is really considered New Wave, I'm pretty sure many people considered them just an alternative to what was mainstream at the time, seeing as they only became more mainstream with the release of Document in 1987.

In 1982, i was a teenager. That song made me nostalgic.
