Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
Another eighties child, although possibly a bit more goth than most, the mention of C.U.S.M. brought back some Uni memories. Can also laugh at the Five Star incident...GordonThe Gopher really was ahead of his time.

Jason Borovan you mean surely...? (to quote Trev and Simon) Amazing how this thread is dominated by 70s/80s relics like KAJAGOOGOO (still on the Pearson siblings, Silk and Steel was one of the first albums I owned, though its lyrics wouldn't stand up today... Lemon, did you dance on the lawn in 'rain or shine'...?) |

Madness
One of the greatest of all singles bands. All children of the 80s should have their greatest hits collection!
