Seeing as I'm a reasonable guy, I'll withdraw the 3 that have been contested and replace them with the following:

Johhny Hates Jazz: "Turn Back The Clock"
Brother Beyond: "The Harder I Try"
Glenn Medeiros: "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You"

Surprise no one's mentioned Simply Red

Spaneu Ballet were a bit wank but compared to ABC?


Haircut 100, Howard jones, level 42, Sade, Shaking Stevens and Wham can all f*** off and die as well.

Buzzer, I think Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction didn't consider themselves seriously, Jimmy Cauty of Jamms and KLF fame was a member- Slam Thunderhide, I believe.

To this thread I add Vanilla Ice- suck satan's cock.

Spandau Ballet


absolute wank

I'm with US on this one, Tony Hadley has one of the best voices in pop and Spandau Ballet were a f***ing amazing band. Gold still gives me goosebumps.

Thread absolutely closed.

You cannot mention a worse band, forget it, it's OVER I tell you.

The Blow Monkeys should also get a dishonourable mention, and I'm hovering on Curiosity Killed The Cat.

Oops, sorry - the thread was already closed. My bad.

Already did - Level 42.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

China Crisis... what bloody crisis!!!!!

unsung hero though definately the Fixx

 

[Ned]

It's alright mentioning these bands but the true musical criminals of the 80's have been missed.

The masterminds behind the musical crimes of "I should be so lucky";"Too many broken hearts" & the afore mentioned "Showing out".
Hang your heads in shame Stock, Aitkin & Waterman.

Though just to show I'm not just biased against them dishonourable mentions must be made of Europe and "The Final Countdown"

 

[Yorkie]

I liked Level 42, Howard Jones, Spandau Ballet and Phil Collins (who was actually from the 70's)
I agree with Ned about the Stock, Aiken and Waterman era. Teeny bopper rubbish.

Strawbery Switchblade...what is your point ladies?
