That's a good tune gaviscon, first thing I do in the morning before I make a brew is put on Absolute 80's on my digital radio in the kitchen and I play it all day until I retire for the evening!

The full ten minute version of Wishing is certainly worth listening to.

Loved Wishing and Iran.
Weren't they once labelled as the ugliest band in Britain? |
|
By:
Rogues won that every year, Steely Dan ditto in America, just think nowadays a band like steely dan would never be heard because of counts like cowell and stock, airmen and Dennis waterman.

another great memory from the 80s |
|
By:
I was relatively old, even back in the 80s, but this was my favourite song, possibly, before I lost interest, with the odd exception about 1985.
Passionate Friend - Teardrop Explodes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGkrkcoTILc |

Johnny, love that song and that one as well kenny mann. No joking gents, I have 'Absolute 80's' played in my house morning, noon and night!
Here is a great song from that era by one of my favourite bands, Talk Talk. Talk Talk (1984 Live in Montreux). This is the absolute nuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8715uPbwXA |

By:
is that a radio or TV channel Slippy? I suspect radio, but I think there's a TV channel that plays just 80s stuff. Saw it in a pub a short while ago.

Found it, it's called Now 80s. 346 on Virgin. All the songs but the videos as well.

Best gig ever.
Last Friday before Christmas 1979; £2.50 to get in; and, best of all, A Flock Of Seagulls had an argument on-stage while trying to tune up, and didn't actually play a set. The Bunnymen were the headliners on the night, complete with drum machine, not having recruited a drummer yet. |

By:
Slippy, that gig with the mighty Talk Talk from "86 is a belter

By:
That was Camden's Electric Ballroom: Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Scritti Politti, A Flock of Seagulls and the Expelaires (from Leeds, quite decent).

By:
Gaviscon, it's forum etiquette to actually say what the links are, I don't open random links as a rule.

By:
Those could be 2 great tracks but I'll never know unless you say what they are first!
