OMG WHO REMEMBERS THE LONDON BOYS

i happened across one of their songs on some obscure website and
remembered that once, i reluctantly admit, i owned.

having said that, they made some great pop songs. i like that
german sounding production. i don't know if that means a lot
to anybody but i'm sure german orgers know what i''m talking
about lol.

they had some shitty video's tho man lol

Good God i remember this act. I think Requiem was their biggest song, one of the duo also died tragically if i remember rightly. Their Euro-Disco stuff was huge for a year or so.

Both killed back then? wow eek I remember this song I've been thinking about you, it reminded me of a couple of other groups from back then. Man I can't believe it. I wondered what happened to them after that one song. Yeah it was just two guys huh?

Well, this could only be a hit underneath the Dutch riverline.

In other words; 'honey pulease!'

no no no!

Both, damn thats sad. Were they a Stock Aitken and Waterman act? Their sound kinda had that vibe to it.

sounds more italo disco then anything to do with London LOL. Quite late in the game with that sorta sound (1990?), and I dont like them much Iam afraid.

Den Harrow had some great tunes though and you could see how earlier italo disco, no matter how dumb the lyrics or simplistic the melodies were, had a impact on the pet shop boys and unfortunately, Stock aiken and Waterman.
