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.

Korn Won’t Cover Up Admiration For Prince, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam Any Longer

When Korn taped their MTV Unplugged earlier this year, the band stocked their set with unlikely covers like Radiohead’s “Creep” and a mashup of their own “Make Me Bad” with The Cure’s “In Between Days.” Apparently, this was a sign of things to come, as the band has started working on a full-on covers album. Though they’re releasing a new album of original material July 31, Korn have already banked a bunch of covers. “We’ve already done, like, ‘Love My Way’ from Psychedelic Furs,” said frontman Jonathan Davis. “We’ve done ‘We Care a Lot’ from Faith No More [and Nine Inch Nails’] ‘Head Like a Hole.’ Those are already recorded. We just gotta get in and do some more.” Up next: Prince’s “Erotic City,” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Diary of a Madman” and Debbie Deb’s “Lookout Weekend” as done by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam. Photo: Winter/Getty
