In no particular order -
Smiths - Meat is Murder/Queen is Dead

Talking heads - Stop making sense

The cult - love

New Order - Power Corruption/low life

Echo and the Bunnymen - ocean rain

XTC - English settlement

Jesus and Mary chain - psychocandy
Depeche Mode - music for the masses

The cure - head on the door/kiss me

Public image - this is what you want

Let's active - big plans for everybody

The the - soul mining/infected

Hoodoo gurus - mars needs guitars/Stone Age romeos

ETA: I may or may not have a good grasp of what y'all mean as "new wave". There some overlap between new wave and punk.

Now this is a solid list. Yeah, I cant' figure out who's Dark wave vs New Wave. IMO, U2, REM or INXS isn't new wave. When I think of New Wave I think British or New York area with crazy hair and wacky makeup or Avant-garde approach.

Since he said 1980, I'm just going to say Blondie - Eat to the Beat(1979) should top any New Wave list if you don't have Talking Heads-Stop making sense there.
