peteb Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1457899647' post='3002858'] I always rather liked this. And she seemed like a really nice person. I too wonder what happened to her.

Mykesbass Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1457899858' post='3002863'] Echo Beach - Martha & The Muffins [/quote] Funny, until today I thought I was pretty much on my own with this one, but it seems to have quite a bit of love on this thread Quote
Dan Dare Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Great song Mykes.Slightly reminiscent of The Doors in style, which means I'm bound to love it. Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1457895578' post='3002786'] Another Girl Another Planet - The Only Ones [/quote] Love that song. Quote
DaveFry Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Favourite ? Why this was until the karaoke pub next door to me adopted it :- [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqjoHKISCVU[/media] - Also the Little Joe Cook version of " Stormy Monday Blues " , which wasn't the real falsetto-singing leader Little Joe Cook of Little Joe & The Thrillers at all , but Chris Farlowe ( of the No.1 " Out Of Time " and the first release of " Handbags And Gladrags " fame ) using a pseudonym .

Oopsdabassist Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1457819927' post='3002148'] In a Broken Dream, Python Lee Jackson. [/quote] Great song, so much so I pursuaded my lot to cover it How about Midnight Oil, Beds Are Burning? Used to do that too! Quote
miles'tone Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 http://youtu.be/k1_9eTIlZPk I have fond memories of dancing to this one at the local church discos. Bottle of woodpecker, loads of snogs 😉.. Happy days! Pretty inappropriate music and behaviour for a bunch of 14 years olds thinking about it now though! Quote
darkandrew Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Video killed the radio star by The Buggles. If I remember correctly, they had a singing bass player with rather big glasses (Trevor something, I think) - I wonder what happened to him? 😜 Edited March 13, 2016 by darkandrew Quote
Billy Apple Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I always liked this one, which was unusual as it was at odds with most the stuff I was listening too at the time. http://youtu.be/KQBoeBgb0uk Quote
Bassman Sam Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 [quote name='morsefull' timestamp='1457875683' post='3002544'] Run run run JoJo Gunne. [media]http://youtu.be/buMg7cDtlls[/media] [/quote] Bummer, beat me to it. Love this track as a lad. Quote
PaulWarning Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Rezilloes - Top of the pops Ten Pole - Tudor Swords of a Thousand Men Adverts - Gary Gilmore's Eyes Toy Dolls - Nellie the Elephant (bit iffy that one) Jilted John - Jilted John Joey Ramone - Wonderful World all in our set except the Rezilloes, plus the Only Ones, already mentioned, the saying is "everybody has got one good song in them" Quote
Mickeyboro Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Every track I know on here I adore! Except Brilliant Mind by Furniture - my first band shared a bill with them once at the Moonlight Club and ended up with the ****ty end of the stick. Actually, the song's not half bad. But I still hate 'em after 36 years. What a sad b@stard I am! Quote

In my past dealings with Jim Irvin I found him absolutely charming. Quote
ead Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Some good stuff. A Radar Love has already been mentioned I'm going to go with Visage - Fade To Grey. Edited March 14, 2016 by ead Quote
leschirons Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1457872106' post='3002492'] Zodiac Mindwarp - Prime mover got a top 20 I think. Loved it when it came out. Comedy value [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtnCcWOS7y8[/media] [/quote] Jan Cyrka's old band. Great fun. Quote
Paul S Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I rather liked 'Backseat Education' - which I suppose would make them a 2 hit wonder? Tongue in cheek misogyny at its comic best http://youtu.be/_CuuSCIN3oc Quote
Sausages Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1457819927' post='3002148'] In a Broken Dream, Python Lee Jackson. [/quote] +1 on this one. Quote
jimbaby Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1457819395' post='3002142'] Something In The Air, Thunderclap Newman. Best thing Pete Townshend ever did! [/quote] I think you should be called out for instigating this. Quote
Rich Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 It Bites, "Calling All The Heroes". It got to #6 in the UK charts and was the only time this [i]completely[/i] brilliant band got anywhere near the top 40. Quote
timmo Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Live It Up - Mental as Anything . Not a bad song. I think Inside by Stiltskin is my favourite one hit wonder Quote
