RUSHHEAD666 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yet another masterpiece from the 80's! Lots of political propaganda on this gem. Even a Ronald Reagan impersonator is on this epic album. Many remember Frankie's number one hit "Relax" but the album has so much more to offer. Including a few solid covers. My favorite song is the title track, "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome." Very "Xanadu" by Rush. LOL!!Not musically but lyrically? Check it out for yourself. I got a lot of shit back then when I was listening to this album all the time in high school because of the g@y vibe but I didn't really give a shit.Hell I always liked the Village People too when I was a kid. No wonder I always wanted to be "IN THE NAVY." LOL! Anyway Frankie Goes To Hollywood is an underrated band. Their second album was a flop but I liked it. It's called "Liverpool." "RELAX" UNCENSORED!! Viewer BEWARE! "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I always liked the song "Relax". Ironically, I had no idea about the 'g@y' aspect of it - not for many years, until it was pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Relax is my favorite 80s dance tune by a mile. Another tune I love from these guys is Two Tribes. Always loved the Reagan vs. Gorby wrestling match from the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I remember this album in my high school years. The audacity of a band releasing a debut double album! And they cover Springsteen! I have this album somewhere. I have to dig it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was a junior in high school. 1985 right? I was so disappointed with "Liverpool" but it's not that bad. Please fiind that album and PLAY IT LOUD!!!
