Your LEAST favourite band of the 80's

[Gazwag]

Did you ever see them live? Did you? Did you?

I was going to see them at the brighton centre in 198something but they cancelled.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Bros

saw them at the center cracking night

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Haysi Fantaysee, whose only redeeming feature was the meaning behind the lyrics to 'John Wayne is Big Leggy'

Their redeeming feature was Kate Garner.

Is that a big country mile?

Is the bloke from The Alarm still fronting Big Country these days?

yes

think they played the heady heights of Worthing a couple of weeks ago

I have to admit to seeing The Thompson Twins at The Brighton Centre. It was pretty rubbish and they played their new single twice which was clearly very naughty.

 

[Gazwag]

Then there was the Mobiles of 'Drowning in Berlin' fame, a Sussex band from Eastbourne / Hastings, absolute crap.:

One of them was from Bexhill I think. I met them in Ram Records in Eastbourne once, it was quite exciting at the time

 

[El Presidente]

Simpy red... good call.

I got tickets to see them at the centre to impress a trainee teacher I fancied. It was the most painful gig I've ever been to, and it got me nowhere with the teach.

To make matters worse Mick Hucknall stole Steffi Graf from me. It was only a matter of time before she started replying to the daily letters I sent her, despite what the judge said.

An old girlfriend took me to see Howard Jones in London,goes without saying i dumped her that night.

 

[wunt be druv]

Five star for me too....could not stand them!

 

[matbha]

Love 80s music ,a lot of songs from the 80s have been done to death by modern bands , still cant beat a bit of Iron Maiden though !!!!!!!!!!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

To make matters worse Mick Hucknall stole Steffi Graf from me. It was only a matter of time before she started replying to the daily letters I sent her, despite what the judge said.

Ginger b8stard........, he did that to me as well.

I'm glad Martine McCutcheon was sick in his hair......

 

[Lady Whistledown]

that was Mike Read taking the question ,5 star was indeed Sarah Greene.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Simple Minds. Gash of the highest order.

You might not like them but they are certainly not Gash.

 

[atfc village]

Thank you Edna.Elliott was very angry

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Wet Wet Wet ( they might be 90s but still shit)

 

[jakarta]

So many to choose from but this lot made me retch as soon as I heard their caterwauling and they dressed like twats as well.....

It was all about John Wayne doing a Native American up the council. The accompanying video does give the game away somewhat.

I remember the lyric "John Wayne in Lovers Lane, making whoopee with his squaw". Your reading makes sense. They were desperate to be famous, I recall.

 

[Goldstone1976]

While I think there have been some decent calls, most notably Simply Red, I'd have to say that Chris de Burgh walks this contest for me. "Lady in....
