I love The Human League and I'm starting to get into Depeche Mode. Last night I went on Youtube and basically watched every Top of The Pops performance from 1982-1983 they had on there 
I'm finally giving Culture Club a chance 
I'm listening to ABC, Tears For Fears, Thomas Dolby, Paul Young, Linx, Captain Sensible, Paul Hardcastle, Howard Jones, Big Country, Kajagoogoo, Eurythamics, Thompson Twins, Linx, 5 Star, Loose Ends, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Tonight, I'm looking up 1984-1986 "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

What about groups in the same vein as Wham and Duran Duran? "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

[Edited 11/25/07 18:31pm] After our earlier discussions re: The Style Council I would suggest checking out a singles collection by Orange Juice. | |
