During their three years together, the band released three studio albums. A live album was released shortly after the group's split.

2) R&B quartet from Houston, Texas. Possessing a sound similar to Dru Hill and Next, among Ideal's most popular songs are "Get Gone" (1999) and "Whatever" (2000), featuring Lil Mo and produced by Next's lead singer R.L. Huggar. The group's members are PZ, Swab, J-Dante, and Maverick.
2005: Ideal Has A New Record Deal and Album Called "From Now On" With Production By : Brian Michael-Cox, Rockwilder, Nisan Stewart, Mike City, Battle Cat; first single: "Makin' Time") (Neutral Ground/Universal, 2006)
Maverick and J-Dante, members of the school choir, were singing outside one day when PZ and Swab joined in. The guys impressed and created their own group, quickly getting a chance to perform at their own school. The group's policy is made clearest on their hit record 'Get Gone' from their debut album. The protagonist of the song discovers his girlfriend is cheating on him and doesn't hesitate to tell her to leave. The group offers a nice claim for men during a time when groups like TLC and Destiny's Child attack men. According to member PZ, the name of the group was created as follows: We actually picked up a dictionary and said whatever page it falls on, we're gonna get our name off that page...so we opened it up about halfway and it fell to the 'I' section. So we went down about four or five words, and we saw Ideal, and we read the definition, and it was a conception embodying perfection. And we liked that because although we're not perfect, we strive for perfection in everything that we do, especially our music, and we also added a second definition to ideal, which is 'the recipe to fulfill every woman's fantasy...baby!'[1]
Their self-titled debut album was released by Virgin Records on August 24, 1999. The album sold 615,000 units in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan[2], and was certified Gold by the RIAA[3]. Allmusic's Heather Phares called Ideal's initial effort a "heartfelt first album" which showcased the "group's smooth, sensuous vocal styling and romantic songwriting[4].
It was reported in 2004 that the group had wrapped up production on a new album, From Now On[2], but it has never been released.
3) Ideal is an alternative metal band from New York City, featuring Hunter Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy.
4) Brazilian Hardcore band from Aracajú, Sergipe. They released an EP called "Acabar com Todas as Cercas".

Ideal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da halt ich mich am Steuer fest
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Flieg ich los, wenn du mich verlässt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Wenn ich alleine bin
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Da setz ich alles und gewinn
Wenn Motorheulen mit Musik sich mischt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Fahr ich, bis die Zeit erlischt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Spiele ich verrückt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Da hau ich ab und komm nie zurück
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Hau ich ab und komm nie zurück
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Da halt ich mich am Steuer fest
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Flieg ich los, wenn du mich verlässt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Wenn ich alleine bin
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Da setz ich alles und gewinn
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Wenn Motorheulen mit Musik sich mischt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Fahr ich, bis die Zeit erlischt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Spiele ich verrückt
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Da hau ich ab und komm nie zurück
In meinem roten Rolls Royce
Hau ich ab und komm nie zurück

(Ah-ha-ha...)
(Ich freu mich, dass du da bist, Mädchen, aha...)
(Yeah, yeah...)
(Ah-ha...)
The lyrics to Ideal's song "Roter Rolls Royce" describe the singer's experience of finding solace and escape in their red Rolls Royce car. To them, the car represents freedom, power and a means of escape from their troubles. When they are alone in their vehicle, they feel invincible and in control, with the merging of the car's engine sounds and the music creating a sense of euphoria. The singer dreams of "flying away" in their car from situations where someone has left them, and they use the car as a metaphor for leaving behind their problems and becoming someone who always wins.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the idea of the car as a means of escape, and the last few lines contain a touch of melancholy as the singer declares they will "never return" to their current situation. They seem to be running away from something, but the nature of the problem they are trying to escape from is left unspoken.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of reckless abandon and freedom, with the red Rolls Royce symbolizing the joys of living in the moment and seizing the day, even if it means leaving everything behind. The lyrics are accompanied by a catchy melody and the occasional interjection from an enthusiastic voice, adding to the overall energy and excitement of the song.

Wenn man schon von der NDW sprechen will, dann waren es Ideal, Extrabreit, Trio und Grauzone(obwohl das dann die NSW, neue schweizierische Welle gewesen wäre) und einige andere wie Fehlfarben, DAF ect.
Das waren aber meist lokale Fenomäne die durch die Gleichzeitigkeit, einen Effekt hatten.
Im Prinzip kann man von einem genialen Zufall sprechen der doch keiner war.
Schön das man ihn erleben durfte.
