Who Sang These Songs: The New Wave Music Subgenre Quiz

The late seventies introduced audiences to New Wave, which was a synth heavy base and rhythm track with vocals that almost seemed spoken instead of sung. Also, there were many sudden stops in the sound, and crashing reverb drum and drum machine rhythm tracks. Rolling Stone has described the sound as "twitchy." It was usually performed by performers who deliberately veered towards less macho or masculine style than the previously macho rock star images. Name the band or artists who performed the following New Wave songs in the highlighted space provided.
