Every decade has its shit music.
Look at the 60s charts, the so called golden age. Loads of stuff that has been deservedly forgotten because it's shit. Same for the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s etc. |

If I am honest I didn't want to see Blancmange but I had to have my front and centre spot for The 17!

Cool!! A lady I work with has younger twin sisters who used to bunk off school to follow them around. They went to see them fairly recently on tour (must need some money), they remembered them from all those years ago and met them after the gig. Both of them look about 18, I saw some pics....Matt and Luke that is!!! |

Saw them play Newmarket in 2016, they still do a strong show. Wanted to get tickets for the Brighton gig this year, but was stuck in a traffic jam when they went on sale. |

I know but at least they look like they make an effort to sing these days 
I suppose it's like the equivalent of faking an orgasm....
Not that a lady has ever had to fake one with me |
