Oh yeah, why is Culture Club on that list, PhilG? They had more than just one hit. They were one of the most successful New Wave acts. Same deal with Spandau Ballet and Howard Jones. Spandau also had a hit with "Gold" as well as "Only When You Leave" and Howard had other hits like "No One is to Blame" and "Things Can Only Get Better".
New Wave Forever! NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Bananarama a one hit wonder??? Before the Spice Girls they were the biggest UK girl group ever! I have their Greatest Hits with more than 20+ singles on it.
I saw Howard Jones in concert a few years ago. He was shite! Culture Club? Boy George is still very much in the industry. They re-formed and had a Top 5 hit here in 1998. [This message was edited Fri May 16 15:41:14 PDT 2003 by Ellie] | |

Matt Gros Ha ha, he's trying to make his 2nd solo comeback, while Luke is an actor and played Jared Nomak in Blade II. Craig was the other band member and now he's one of Pink's managers. | |

And yes, Limahl kicks ass... Neverending Story!  Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip.
