Narps Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I know I am just a commoner but 1 vote for Bananarama :codger: This post should serve also to scare off anyone thinking of altering or enhancing their lips in any way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I guess Howard Jones is proof, that contra his biggest hit, things CAN get worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I had to go with Big Country with Mike Peters of The Alarm. The album they released together this year, "The Journey" is one of the best releases of 2013. Of course, Mike and Big Country have since parted ways after nearly four years together. Mike is doing a 2014 tour to celebrate the 30th Anniverary of The Alarm's "Declaration" album.http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Journey-Digipak-Big-Country-CD-Apr-2013-MRI/00/$T2eC16V,!zUE9s38+C8+BSB(fYh-Tw~~_35.JPG http://www.thealarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MIKEPETERS_DECLARATION-290x300.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney_rebel Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I used to love Debbie Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 They left off Martin Frye of ABC. He looks and sounds great. No, he doesn't wear the gold suit anymore, but he could. All of Ultravox aged pretty well too. Midge Ure is totally bald but some things can't be helped. And THEY sounded magnificent on their tour for the past 2 years.

goose Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Adam Ant looks great. And Annie Lennox is still fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thomas Dolby looks really good. Fun fact: for those of you with T-Mobile service, Dolby is the "composer" of their little 5-note jingle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would say time has been kindest to Debbie Harry, Holly Johnson, John Taylor, Annie Lennox, Aimee Mann and the gals from Bananarama. Talking Heads were my favorite band of the genre though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I could have a go with the Go-Go´s. :drool: :drool: Suddenly Paul Young doesn´t look so young anymore, huh? That reminds me of this one time I was watching a movie with GAry OLDMAN in it, and my wife noticed how old he looked, to which I replied: "with that surname, what could you expect?". :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 MY GOD, some scary stuff in there! Simon Le Bon! Howard Jones! The horror! And I'm sure they chose a pic of Kate where she looks fatter than she is. Also, so many better pictures of Aimee around, without resorting to awkward smile.Debbie will always be Debbie.

Syrinx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Really good - BananaramaReallybad - CindiLauper and the Smiths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Wow. I listened to most of these groups. I think most aged gracefully.Tell Mr. Smith to stop with the makeup already.Inxs, Depeche, Morrisey, Lennox, OMD all look wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfrippy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 We saw Blondie in September. They were great and Debbie Harry is amazing...not still amazing. Just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefunk Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Still love Gary Numan, even though I have a feeling he's totally bald beneath that hair piece. His latest album is great, and he's still touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Siouxsie was & still is ace. A true innovator who made some great music & still doesn't get the recognition she deserves. Edited November 27, 2013 by Turbine Freight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Bryan Ferry fan here - he's aging gracefully and still looking good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Steve Strange looks surprisingly good, especially considering he had a really bad heroin addiction at one time. That shit ages people fast. Debbie Harry is walking a fine line between "having a little surgical help" and "oh honey, she looks made of plastic!"

Jack Aubrey Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Peter Gabriel is the best of them all. (Musically speaking.) Edited November 28, 2013 by Jack Aubrey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Most of them look like they're taking decent care of themselves. Banarama and Aimee Mann are still pretty attractive.I saw Johnny Marr at a gig a few months back; that dude is in tremendous shape [lots of energy on display]...granted he IS a serious health nut that doesn't drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
