A few years ago while writing a Thompson Twins top 10 I explained how I'd once chosen the band to explain how far I'd go to defend the music of the 80’s.
Ordinarily, David, my needle scratches the same groove as yours, but not today...ha-ha! And though I admire your defence of these, ahem, chancers, I simply can't agree.
And the marmite analogy doesn't even work for me this time, because I absolutely love the stuff, and can't imagine anyone not loving it if the alternative is to listen to this...
Yeah, unreasonable, I know, but I just can't put my finger on just why this trio of unappealing, charmless, and irritating gits get me so agin 'em. Each to their own, I suppose.
But I do take my hat off to you for your perseverance here.
Ha ha ok Mark. I'm not trying to convince anyone just trying to explain why I have a soft spot for them and this song. Their story remains a fascinating snapshot of what was possible in the 80s and how quickly huge fame and success could come. Out of the squat and into the gap in 5 years...
