Yeah, I liked The Thompson Twins, so what?



Yeah, I liked them, and what? I thought they were an awesome New Wave band. They had some cool songs and a cool 80's style. Y'all wanna fight about it, naysayers???? fight

I actually saw them in concert not once, not twice, but FOUR times, including the Hollywood Bowl concert! giggle I believe the last time was in San Diego, the last night of the Here's to Future Days tour...OMD was opening, I had the feeling ppl were there to see them almost more than the TT's. shrug

I'm not so much a fan of the Thompson Twins, but I am a huge fan of the album 'Sidekicks'. I never was able to get into much else by them.
