    oh yeah Thompson Twins had a bunch of hits: Doctor Doctor, Lay Your Hands, King for a Day, Love On Your Side, Lies… I had to look up a couple of those songs to make sure it was really them, but I can totally remember how they go. There was a lot of good New Wave back then.

      There was a lot of good New Wave back then.

      Totally. Flock of Seagulls and OMD were a couple others. There was an energy and innovation to that stuff that I really enjoyed at times, even though in retrospect it might be considered ‘fluff’ or less serious / edgy. Same with the Bee Gees and some of the Disco-era stuff.

      To me a good song is a good song, however its trappings.

        Like two or three years ago I decided to listen to the Flock of Seagull albums; I’d heard the hits ofc, but not the other songs. Turns out they have a lot of great album songs and b-sides. Unfortunately after the third album the guitarist left and the lead singer guy kept at it but couldn’t maintain the quality.

          Oof, and unfortunately that’s always how it goes there, right?

          Oh shit, I just figured out their song that I REALLY liked. Here is it:

          Uh, Sergio, if you have a chance in your explorations upon FoS songs, could you please lend me some of your recs as you discover them?

              Thanks! I certainly liked that second one. I would have guessed it as OMD or… someone I can’t remember right now… if I didn’t know better.
