Can't believe Flock Of Seagulls haven't been mentioned yet!

A band derided in the 80's ,then fashionable to like them years later.

Between 79 & 83 even heavy rock / metal bands made great pop singles:

Timeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgekmOqCFTU

I saw them support The Jam at the Brighton Centre.

 

[El Presidente]

superb , sadly ive never seen them live but have got a couple of their cds recorded live , i reckon you'd be hard pushed to hear a more genuinely exciting LIVE band.

I have seen them live and they were superb, until Jake starts YAPPING between songs.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This one is quite disturbing. I was living in Crawley when this came out. I have tried checking the lyrics to test the nuance, but the usual sources come up blank. After all this time . . . .anyway.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I saw them in Camden in 1978 or 79. A ripper. Has Jake now turned into a latterday Terry Wogan? Or (worse) Patrick Kielty?
