Which band is more amazingly legendary?



Nu Shooz, who blessed the world with sampled barking dogs and "I Can't Wait"...



OR:





T'Pau, who got their name from Star Trek and gave us the gift of "Heart and Soul"?

Duke it out!

I'm going with Nu Shooz, cuz "I Can't Wait" was my jam as a kid. And "The Point of No Return." (That was them right?)

musicman said:

they had another hit?

Nu Shooz. Stop-Action shoe animation rules!

Nu Shooz I've never heard of T'pau

Anxiety said:

Duh!

T'Pau had a single called Heart & Soul. Anyways, I digged Nu Shooz b/c they were funkier w/ I Can't Wait which was the skating jam back in the day. However, the instrumental to T'Pau's song was good but the vocals sucked ass.

OK..I have to say NuShooz, cuz I can never get tired of I can't wait (though the hook it had Dates the song as well though made the song likeable when it came out). It got a good melody and a background groove that is actually quite good. Not to mention the singer was really good and still is singing....different music. ANd Point of no return was a decent song.

I liked T'pau for that one song and even got the cassette of the album...it was er ok. They were trying for that rockish sound and it just didn't work. Also after the first minute and she starts wailing...I get itred of it pretty quick. They also tried to release a second single...Monkey House but it went nowhere.

I should NOT know as much as I do about this subject.

I Heard Of Shock The Monkey but you've got me on that one.

Oh trust me Monkey House was about as shitty as you would imagine it.

THIS IS SERIOUSLY TOUGH! Both flash me back to kindergarten.


I have to go with Nu Shooz for "I Can't Wait". That vocal sampling synth is ridiculously fun.

Anxiety said:

I had to really think about it. T'Pau would win over other songs.

Anxiety said:

is that what this is REALLY about? getting love for a band that sounded like you got smacked in the head or something?

superspaceboy said:

i should have chosen robbie nevil instead.

CinisterCee said:

Like strap me down with Heart and Soul over ANY Britney Spears song or Fiffty Cent anyday.

Anxiety said:

omg are you a Welker?

superspaceboy said:

i remember coming to school with my new storebought cassette version of sign 'o' the times' and a guy in my class was like, "prince sucks - you need to listen to t'pau!!"

Is this like the JJ Fad vs. L'Trimm thread?

Anxiety said:

TRON said:

maybe.

Anxiety said:

Anxiety said:

In that case, T'Pau all the way.

TRON said:

rooting for the underdog - class!

OK now I may not have liked him back then and I was CONVINCED that he destroyed the Eurythmics career. 94.7 in Chicago (when it was top 40) had a "new music" contest via call ins. A song had to win for 3 nights and if they won...they would play the song more. Not sure why Eurythmic were on there anyway as they weren't new music nor was the single the first off a new album...but it was day 3 for Thorn in my side and C'est La Vie came on and won the night and thus knocked them out...never to be played AGAIN

He of course tried having a big pop career, however, even though he was and IS very talented and accomplished musician, it never completely happened for him.

Again... I know WAY too much about these B bands.

well, i liked c'est la vie and i liked dominoes, too. i had his album on cassette - i bought it at a marsh grocery store.

Anxiety said:

Dominoes was good. The video looked like Jody Watley's Still a thrill.

You got your groceries in a swamp...huh?
