There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey! So, I have a fun project coming up: making a soundtrack/playlist for a play called Fishing that's set in a new, hot, open-kitchen San Francisco restaurant (think Conduit (warning: music & Flash)). It's going to be heavily New Wave/electronic, since the chef loves NW and is enough of a dick to impose his tastes upon his customers. "Bizarre Love Triangle" is specifically mentioned.
With all of that mentioned (and keeping in mind that I have a lot of this music), are there any songs that I absolutely must have on said soundtrack?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Specific must have songs? I'm not sure.
Must have bands include the aforementioned New Order and Devo, plus Gary Numan, Echo and the Bunnymen, Scary Monsters-era Bowie, early Depeche Mode, New Romantic era Duran Duran, The Human League, and early Eurythmics, and Yaz(oo). Each has many tracks to choose from.
This might help, too.

Tom's list is about my list too.
I would proabably throw in The English Beat, The Cure, and Talking Heads.

Oh, Yaz! Yes. Love them.

I have a bunch of Rhino's New Wave comps if you want to peruse or rip.
Sounds like the wants more of the synth pop portion of New Wave so OMD and Depeche Mode and Soft Cell and Human League and Ultravox should be in there.

"Sex Dwarf"!
I remember Hec had a tagline from that song ("Luring disco dollies to a life of vice") when I first started posting at b.org.

I loved their Post-Punk ones. I think I have some of their New Wave ones, but I'm not sure.
