Rock List: Readers’ Best Eighties New Wave Bands Inspired by last week’s announcement of the Regeneration Tour, we asked the Rock Dailyists to tell us their favorite New Wave acts of the 1980s. After rewatching the entire Savage Steve Holland filmography and tallying the votes, the readers have selected Echo & the Bunnymen as their favorite keyboard-stabbing, oddly hair-cutted New Wavers. Check out the entire top ten list after the jump. 1. Echo & the Bunnymen 2. New Order 3. Talking Heads 4. Psychedelic Furs 5. Elvis Costello 6. The Police 7. Depeche Mode 8. Duran Duran 9. The Cure 10. XTC [Photo: Musto/Redferns/Retna]

Check out the full list below. 1. Jimi Hendrix Experience — “Fire” 2. Johnny Cash — “Ring of Fire” 3. Sly & the Family Stone — “Hot Fun in the Summertime” 4. Bruce Springsteen — “I’m On Fire” 5.
