Ignore the H8ers. Hell, play "Dancing with tears in my eyes" just to drive 'em over the edge.

This got to no.2 in the U.K. chart, 'way back when'. What kept it from no.1?
Don't Google it. Bit of trivia.

Wow, talk about songs you recognize within the first note. Yeah, I spent a lot of time in my room as a depressed adolescent listening to this LP.

6.6? Amazed at that - this is one of few occasions that I've reached for the volume (in a good way) and ignored my work for a few minutes; although the laptop's taken a fair beating as an impromtu drum kit. Very rarely hear this song in the UK anymore.

The first, if'n you were wondering was Geno by Dexys.
How chuffed was I to get to a gig by Geno Washington and The The Ram Jam Band? Very.
Sorry, rambling a bit there. Happy days.
Hey - I bought both of those singles too! (But my first single was Living Thing by ELO!) |

Another vote for John Foxx era Ultravox. It had an edge too it. This Midge Ure stuff is just a bit too "precious."
Edit 6 months later: I still feel the same way, only I'd go with "twee" now.

Second that. Those two go hand in hand for me as well. Probably an age thing  |
