I'm a huge Fixx fan and they just wrote really solid songs that translate to the current without seeming dated. I really like Naked Eyes as well.I think they only had one album.

 

After the Fire?

Reach the Beach. I saw them open for the Police, with the Thompson Twins, on the Synchronicity tour.

 

Great one! I love The Fixx!

 

Thompson Twins?

 

I love ABC! "Lexicon Of Love"

Huge Church fan here since 1981. An Aussie mate I met in Mexico turned me onto them. For a Moment We're Strangers, The Unguarded Moment, I'm Almost With You, When You Were Mine, Memories in Future T

Which band do you like the most? I've been on a very strange Church and Echo run this week. For me it's The Church! I love it all. "Starfish" is a wonderful record!!   If you hate The Church then yo

You guys like IT BITES? New Wave Pop Prog. I love them.

Never heard of them. I do remember you liking the Surf Punks, as I recall.

 

 

Geez...we're going full nostalgia here.

Eurythmics...Pretenders...

 

 

Culture Club. Spandau Ballet. ( :ph34r: )

 

I don't like Culture Club but Time (Like A Clock in My Heart) is one of those perfectly written pop tunes from the early 80's I just love. It was anyone else I would be all over it but...Boy George.

 

Hah, seriously they wrote some damn fine tunes.

 

Soft Cell?

I heard the song I Ran by Flock this morning and thought beyond all the 80's sheen and stupid haircuts there is a really good "song" there. Shame we can't see past image and hear the songs sometimes.

Good point. My favorite song by Flock is "Space Aged Love Song!"

 

My favourite song of theirs is Messages.

Starfish has to be one of the best albums of all time for me. It just fit a perfect evening with some friends when I was in college and it was like some soundtrack out of a Hughes film, even more so because we lived in the North Shore :)

It's just a really well put together and produced piece. It's both powerful and serene. The music is wholly unique and the lyrics are very well.done.

I had Kraftwerk's Man-Machine in my head all day.

I never got into these guys Goose!

They're a visual band. They just did a 3-D tour and a friend of mine flew up to Portland and caught it. Said it was amazing!

One of my all time favorite bands. Saw them perform Starfish in its entirety about 2 years ago. Killer.

 

A top five band for me as well. Loved them back in the day (Heyday/Starfish era) and re-discovered them in the late '90s when they went on that amazing run starting with Hologram of Baal. Their latest, Further Deeper, is a freakin' modern masterpiece, esp the 2-LP version (Euro CD also has the three extra tracks). Even during their wilderness period -- the tired Gold Afternoon Fix through the low-point Magician Among the Spirits -- they released their magnum opus, Priest=Aura. An amazing talent who unlike most bands has just become better with age.

 

I love Echo and the Bunnymen, esp Porcupine (a hallmark '80s album, subdued and minimalist; nothing like the saccharin Lips Like Sugar), but for me The Church is up there with Zeppelin and Floyd ... for me (not a majority opinion, obviously).

 

Oh, and those who don't love P-Furs, their first three albums are among the greats of the '80s (after those they pulled a Lips Like Sugar-esque bid for commercial success, and then got old), esp that dark and beautiful first album. India, Sister Europe, Imitation of Christ ... fantastic!
