New Romantic was an underground subculture movement that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. The movement emerged from the nightclub scene in London and Birmingham at venues such as Billy's and The Blitz.
Here, we assemble 40 of the top New Romantic songs from the Blitz era (one track per artist) and a few of the tunes that ensured success for the bands at the sharp end of the movement.
