The roaring boys ‘ strange girl ‘. They were signed for a big advance with high expectations of being the next Duran Duran or spandau ballet but they never took off. Did produce a very good album though. They were dropped by the record company shortly after. All ex public school boys so I’m sure they all went on to have worthwhile careers away from music.

At the time I genuinely thought The Nightingales were the future of Rock and Roll. Absolutely love this nearly 40 years later, still

Only on the basis that I have been listening to Soft Cell The Twelve Inch Singles this afternoon

I found myself standing next to Simon Le Bon (tall) and John Taylor (taller) at a gig last night. Which was nice.

IMHO the worst era of music ever as I say just my opinion.

I adore the 12” version that evolves into Where Did Our Love Go? It’s on one of my youtube playlists.

80’s Music

Vile Thatcherite decade. Why should anyone have any faith in music transcending that crappiest of decades, in politics and everything else? 80's music was that short shit breather between the enduringly gorgeous sounds of the 70's and the 90's

And this is is just wrong-er.

Great music that often was an outlet for the yoof of the day (old farts now like me) to communicate their angst. Long before the days of social media.

Haven't you demostrated previously, in fact on numerous occasions, that you know nothing about music?

Or is that satire? Or the hibernian version: saltire?

Tom Ellard (Severed Heads) made some cracking stuff in the early and mid 80s. Like this, some of it was Australian

Twenty years ahead of their time, the singer Mark Seymour now a revered older statesman, the Aussie band Hunters and Collectors broke new ground with their arrid alien landscapes, sinister frontier music that would do nicely now as theme music for a disturbing David Lynch miniseries.

This is much more mainstream. Love that cheesy 80s vibe.

Sorry you appear to have missed out the sheer gorgeousness of the 70s and the 90s music revolutions. Oh well
