I defy you with the Jam, the cure, the smiths, the pogues and probably lots more that I cant think of off the top of my head.
Though in actual fact that was better than I thought it would be as I didnt give Japan a chance in the eighties.

edit: err I 've just realised the title (ie - best new romantic)
Well I couldnt do new romantic at the time, not at all...but I reckon thats one-nil to Katcha

No chance, not even close. Steve Strange, apart from a welsh smackhead poof, didn't even sing on those records. The best they ever did was 'mind of a toy' vocals by Midge Ure. Listen and tell me i'm wrong.

Shocking how some of the leading lights of those days ended up.

the thing about fade to grey is that the tune itself set a benchmark for other electro groups to try and match - the breaks in the synth, the drum beats are all the basis for most dance music early 90s and still now you can hear it ( well i can - maybe it was the acid)
