You know...I can be an apologist for effete British new romantic bands at times, no matter how ludicrous their haircuts were. I grew up with some of those bands, and I still have a nostalgic fondness for a lot of that music...

but Spandau Ballet NEVER RULED ANYTHING in their miserable and thankfully short career.

The Kemp brothers turned out to be surprisingly decent actors, though...

"Pink Cadillac" by Natalie Cole.



I wish I could find the "single version" of this song,which is also the version that was used in the video.I have her 1987 album 'Everlasting' ,but the album version sounds flat and boring.When they released it as a single,they remixed it and it sounds 100% more lively.But that version is extremely hard to find! Even on her hits compilations,they use the bland album version,which is a shame.

Homeboy what possessed you to dredge this one up?
Did you just hear it recently?

You know these guys almost had me with True.
That's until he does the last chorus right before the bridge, "You know this much is...TRUE"
It's said in a really phoney half spoken/half sung overly emotive, overly dramatic way.
I can see him doing this with a hand in the air, looking blankly skyward as if he's seeing himself delivering a line from Hamlet's Soliloquy.

So I give them a second chance with Gold.
I didn't even make it to "You're indestructabbllllleeeee".
When that 1st creepy background of "Goooold" happens that did it.
It sounds like they hired the "Men On Film" for that part.

All that's missing is the "2 snaps up" arm flourish.

Double Yuck.

Too many to mention but heres a few:

Band Aid - Feed The World
Wham - All of their songs

Phil Collins - ditto(!)
Micheal Jackson - ditto (!!)
Bros - ditto (!!!)
Rick Astley - ditto. Please pass me the sick bucket
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn and the rest

"Say You,Say Me" by Lionel Richie (1985) ---I'm a huge fan of Lionel,but let's be honest,by the mid-80s,he was putting out tepid crap like this.Hard to believe that THIS is the same guy who once wrote classic songs like Kenny Roger's "Lady" and the hit duet with Diana Ross "Endless Love",both of which are top-notch songs.

"Missing You" by John Waite (1984) ---the 80s was filled with songs like these....catchy yet totally predictable midtempo rock tracks with nothing interesting going on at all.

"Rumours" by Timex Social Club (1986)




aw hell.

our music tastes are completely different, at least according to 80's choices. i loved all three of these songs. and actually "Missing You" was my 2nd fave 80's song closely following P's "When Doves Cry"

lemme guess...you hate Howard Jones too?
