The Motors - Airport 1978

It's already in my freeloaded downloads ken

PS - I actually bought it when I was a kid!

Yeah,
Saw them in a wine bar in Dublin,never heard of them.
Weeks later at number 1 with this.

There was some terrific music up till about 1985, and not great deal after. Where did it all go wrong?

Stock,Aitken and Waterman coming along maybe. ?

lol yes, they have a lot to answer for. That bloody Michaela Strachan on The Hitman and her.

Don't mind her now, as she's gone on to animal programmes.

First single I ever bought was by the Motors but not Airport

White Plains - My Baby Loves Lovin'

well, a little maybe.

Reading this thread took me to youtube and had to drop in on Hazel Oconnor,
Classic mixture of lyrics and superb sax.

yeh, could spend months looking at the great stuff on youtube. Every song you can think of is there.

Just played The Knack, My Sharona, and learned that the singer and drummer are dead.

No thread about airports and the perils of air travel is complete without this peerless musical masterpiece ...

I'm going in O'.

Yeah i bought the c/d version years ago after the vinyl gave in,heard the guys had passed on.
My sharona was jut one of many gems of that year.

Yes, I know that one orioles, although I hadn't heard it for many years. Good old Yorkshire lads. Not bad, but not a brilliant hook.

only in their 50's cloughandtaylor, all rather sad.

Remember it from my school days, Kenny ... and yes, dammit ... I confess ... I saw them in concert

What the frig were we on?

That was a very good pop song, orioles, I was im my very early 30's than (sigh)

Preferred this Japanese song though.

in* then*  grrrr.

love and loneliness is one of my fav tunes, how it never got into top 40 i will never know.
bit wagnerian and ott but still tremendous.

All time classic song by Hall & Oats

Still cannot get round the fact this only reached no 42 in the charts

Magnificent song , but not as good as the long version of their 1977 John Peel Festive Fifty Number One , Dancing The Night Away.

i for years actully thought he was singing about ethel,well they sound so alike dont they, "ethel youve got a smiling face"

Dancing The Night Away - live perfection from the OGWT:

An epic intro and six minutes of unstoppable rhythm. From the moment man first plugged a guitar into an amp, it was with the dream of one day walking out onto a stage and presenting the world with a gift like this.

was on guitar heroes at the bbc, tremendous. bought 3 bram tchaikosky solo albums but werent up to much, and also nick garvey solo lp, was poor, scratched it and took it back to sunderland hmv and got me money.

Three classic singles from the 70's, first two are from Pilot and the last from ****cat (who are still performing and she still has a great voice)
