Continuing the theme of bands with upper case letters or numbers in their title.

Like their early 80s stuff. Can't stand Red Wine though - the song that is.

Oh yes, saw them with the excellent brass section at the Brighton Centre years ago, good fun night out although they do seem to re-hash the same melody with different lyrics too much. Astro and his dancing alone was worth the entrance money. Big Yes.

Again no, I'm afraid. I always found them dull and pointless; they don't seem to have improved with age, for me at least, although I admit I can't remember the last time I listened to them.

Yes, but only the Tyler, Food For Thought, King era and the Labour of Love video with the glasgow kiss.

all excellent

I'm guessing most of those whove passed comment here have not heard much of their early stuff. Their recent stuff is gash though. Must be an age thing.

Exactly the opposite for me, after a few albums it all started to sound the same so stopped buying, you can always tell it's UB 40 after a couple of seconds regardless of when the music was made. Shame they didn't progress any
