OK. More Wylie time. Pete's turn....I personally don't like story of the blues and prefer earlier stuff...

Absolute 80s were doing a chart rundown from 1982. Don't think Mrs.A was sharing the love for it like I was because as you know, stunning vocal that it is, it's not the easiest to sing along to!!
And this is what happens when you start thinking you really are the next big thing....perhaps. Great hit single though. I can smell wintrgreen ointment and pipe tobacco when I listen to this. Something of the 60s about it.

Something not from Livrpool. The wonderful big audio dynamite. 'Found Sound' was still rare at this time. Holger Czukai was the pioneer. This is a great single.

Despite what the video says, this is not an 'album'. It is a four track ep. It has on it, Holger Czukai (of Can), Jah Wobble (Public Image etc) and U2's 'The Edge'. I have the vinyl. Rare as hen's teeth. This ep was a fixture in the small clubs in Vanvouver at the time. In my view it is a seminal piece of loveliness. Book youself 30 minutes and put your feet up and drift away.....

Great shout!
I’d say learning the words to this is up there as one of my greatest achievements, even above being published...
Fair one. Ok, I’ll throw in ‘The Reflex’, but more out of politeness.
Goodness me, I do love the 80s.

80's music will always be my favourite, for my yoof existence
The 80's were happy days for teens/twenties, musically and more

I used to hang around with the Mobiles, years back, they didn't last very long mind you!

I was a childin the 80's so I'm going to go with what I knew and loved then rather than what I went back to and discovered later. That means you'll be getting nothing but PROPER POP from me.
Here's a few that jumped into my head straight away...
