I always found Adam Ant to be one of the most innovative and unique English "new wave" artists of the 80's. The music he and Marco Pirroni created was a blend of punk, disco, spaghetti western, lounge, surf and pirate sea chanties!. Some people do question who really started putting that Burundi style drumming on pop records first, Bow Wow Wow or Adam and the ants. This a youtube of him on the Howard Stern show. (It's a little long, and there are three parts). I was struck about how down to earth and totally normal he actually is, which belies his strange image of the 80's...towards the end of one of the clips, he performs a song live in the studio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwRiamAdjyk
