Talk Talk had some of the best tracks of the 80s, unreal that in 1984 Its My Life and Such a Shame didn't even chart in the UK! but were massive in Europe and the Usa. Test of time though, Its My Life now still gets played more than most of the above!
Actual fave track, the epic Living In Another World with superb mouth organ and Steve Winwood on keyboards from the Colour Of Spring. Sadly the lead singer hated fame and the music biz and packed Talk Talk in before 40 and has never reformed since ;( |

I'll see if I can find the 80 singles poll I did a few years ago so you can see if you picked the same 10 songs then as you did now.

That is totally correct doridou, the lead singer of Talk Talk, Mark Hollis, just didn't want the money, fame nor glory. If they ever did reform, I would literally pay whatever it took to see them live. "It's My Life" is such a wonderful track as well, absolutely love it

Passionate Friend - Teardrop Explodes. Remember taking a 21 year old to see them at Bradford University. She loved this song and I got to like it very much. Enen though I was just turned 30 and was one of the oldest ones there, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
