    Do they know it's Christmas time at all ?

What about Dollar? Spandau Ballet? Culture Club? Tiffany? Sonia? Bros? NKOTB? 
Rene and Renarta (Save your love my darlink, save your love) and not 
forgetting Bucks Fizz of course.  Anyone remember Shudda upa yer face?  Who 
did it again?

Paul

    Methinks 'twas Joe Dolce, from from the top drawer.
    
    Eck.

    Yes it was I can remember being so annoyed that that bloody record kept
    Vienna by Ultravox off the number one spot.
    
    Tim
    ---

    Not many people know this (stop me if you've heard this before), but
    Shaddapa you Git was originally recorded by Andrew Sachs (aka 'Manuel',
    meesa Faaawlty), however it was buried chartwise by the far superior
    Joe Dolce version.
    
    Paul Gambobccini

    How about the great song by CHARLENE???  I've Never Been to Me.
    Or I've never been to a music lesson.  This had a lovely spoken
    interlude where she rambles on and on about having a baby and being
    a better person, etc.  Induce vomiting NOW.  
    
    The 80's brought us the last of the Carpenters (speaking of Vomiting).
    A great remake on their Made in America album was BEECHWOOD4-5789
    and it ranks as one of the most SAPPY songs in history.  I think
    Karen deserves her own topic since she spans more than one decade
    of tosh.  Her Crypt has an inscription on it----
    
      Karen - A Star on Earth ~ A Star in Heaven......
    
    Truly gutwrenching!!

    >> The 80's brought us the last of the Carpenters (speaking of Vomiting).

    I hope this has nothing to do with Karen's anorexia and food-retention
    problems -;)     (yet another smilie)

I'd like to award the 80's tosh award (a sharp pointy one) to JIVE BUNNY. 

Dave

    
    Re -.2. Yes, but the Carpenters brought us some great songs.
    
    Richard

    Yeah, I like the Carpenters.

    Maybe you liked Howard Jones too. And the Thompson Twins. And
    Kajagoogoo or whatever they called themselves. Let's not forget
    Ireland's Daniel O'Donnell - yup Dan I miss my mom too.

    - Tim
    

    Kajagoogoo - the band Paul Gambacinni bent over backwards to help...
    
    Mikef

    
    Come clean time. 
    
    I DID like the Thompson Twins (although I cringe now) and Howard Jones
    (Not until I saw him sing accapela on some programme once, but I was 
    suprised how well he actually could sing!).
    
    However, Kajagoogoo figure highly on the "BCR of the 80s" scale.
    
    Still you shouldn't mock people with dyslexia! (Remember the man
    who called himself Limahl?!?!)
    
    Mark

    Back in 81/82, I thought the Thompson Twins were brilliant - this was
    before they slimmed to a 3 piece, changed thier image and style a
    little also.  Some of the best gigs i saw at Uni were by the Thompsons
    - 'in the name of love' (original version) marked a generation of
    students.  They turned crap in around 83, when they toured with Tears
    for Fears as support.  TTs gigs used to end with everyone getting up on
    stage and banging away on various percussion thingies - great fun.
    
    Mikef
    
    PS - Anyone remember Pigbag, and the Farmers Boys, and Dept S?

    I remember The Farmers Boys and Pigbag, great stuff well thats how I
    remember it, if I heard it now I might not think the same.
    
    Tim
    ---

    
    Thank God I'm not the only one who liked the TTs.
    
    I got into them when they first became a 3 piece (Lies, lies, lies,
    yeah!), but I'd agree that the earlier stuff is generally better and
    everything beyond the album with Lies on it is dubious to say the
    least!
    
    Mark :^)

    As far as I know all Pigbag's recordings have been deleted. However I
    came across (and bought) a Best of Pigpag CD recently. It still sounds
    great to me.

    - Tim
    

    Re; a few back - Dept S. 
    
    Is Vic there?  -  still a great record. 

    Best of Pigbag - I must get it - was it cheap? (not that I'm mean).
    
    Trying to remember other tosh - I can remember things I enjoyed, such
    as The Lotus Eaters - first picture of you, or how about Bruce Foxton -
    the Freak.  How about those ****** Stars on 45 singles, they were early
    eighties wern't they?  Awful things.
    
    Mikef

    I found Best of Pigbag in Reading's Our Price (near Body Shop) for
    �8ish. When the shop assistant saw that I was buying it he said "Where
    did you find this ??!" He seemed to be green with envy. I'm sure it's
    possible to order it - though it might cost the full 12 squid then.

    - Tim
    

    Back to some real tosh. Matthew(?) Wilder's "Break my Stride". Truly
    a one hit wonder, bl**dy awesome. Even asterisked swear words don't
    do this song justice. How about a note called "The Nuremberg Song
    Trials" where we get to sentence the guilty with "really interesting" 
    punishments. Matthew Wilder's sentance? An afternoon spent on the
    terrace at Celtic handcuffed to The Rev Ian "No Surrender" Paisley.  
    
    

whoever did "rock me Amadeus"

    How about Oh Susannah by some Euro band.
    
    Tim
    ---

    There was also The Final Countdown, by Europe, and possibly the worst
    song of the Eighties...the very pits of human existence...
    
    'Take my breath away'  by Berlin.
    
    If I ever hear that song again...I'd rather listen to Kylie and Sonia
    non stop for 24 hours than have to suffer that garbage once again in my
    life.
    
    Er, sorry, flame off
    
    Mikef

    Oh, and b****y Africa, or b****y something, by b****y b****y Toto.
    
    And that other one - "I want to Know what love is", I can't remember
    who by, which is possibly worse than the Berlin song.  The people who
    write these songs must be brain dead, or live in Los Angeles.  And I
    bet they have moustaches!!

   Falco.  The follow-up, not quite so successful, was called "Vienna

REO Speedwagon - yuck!

Starship and their awful nausea inducing song about the mannequin from
the film about the mannequin probably with the word 'love' on the title

    Yes Mike you've hit the nail on the head, b****y Toto and b****y
    Foreigner, I can remember a guy in my 6th form into all this, he was

    they had shaggy perms as well.

    You can't mention REO Speedwagon without paying tribute(?) to another

    Ian Saxby, a man after me own heart!! not only are they
    mega-hyper-glalacto tosh, but they also hold the distinction, nay
    honour, of having an unbeatable tosh quotient (herinafter referred to
    as TQ) which spans not one, but two decades (the 70's and the 80's)
    with no sign of a let-up as we get well into the 90's.
    
    I suppose one has to hand it to them - it must be extremely difficult
    to maintain such a standard of TQ. I've never known them to slip up,
    not once.

    Queen, of course!!! Who else?

    Queen - gotta hate 'em.  Bohemian Rhapsody was THE worst record of the

    p.s. Three copies of "Touch Me" by Samantha Fox eh? Still, I'm sure
    her new single "Beat Me, Beat Me (But the pants stay on)" should
    qualify for the 90's tosh note on the title alone.

    the 80's was a kind of strange decade...punk fizzled out, New romantics
    came and went, U2 and Simple Minds became mega and, IMHO, they got
    worse. I dont recall a particular 'trend' as such...perhaps we were all
    to busy trying to be Yuppies and young Thatcherites ????....except for
    Rap....as I say the 80's was a strange decade. 
    
    Thank god for 4AD.
    Paul

    >I dont recall a particular 'trend' as such..
    
    What about Acid House and the whole move towards dance music.
    
    Tim
    ---

    And we had three great Tom Waits albums; `Swordfishtrombones', `Rain
    Dogs' and `Frank's Wild Years'. Some music-watchers considered it to be
    the only `new' music of the decade.

    Yep, those three Waits albums are quite brilliant, especially Rain
    Dogs. 
    
    At the time, I blamed the so-called floppy fringe brigade for the
    decline of pop music - previous to this, around 78-80, the more commercial 
    bands to emerge from the 'new wave' (Jam, Costello, XTC, Undertones, 
    Squeeze, etc) had been getting into the charts quite regularly, and making 
    some good noisy records (i.e. with guitars on) too.
    
    Oh yes, happy days indeed (wipes nostalgic tear away).
    
    Bob

    What Tim said about the Dance movement being an important part of the
    80's - he's dead right.  When people like Phil Collins, Kylie, Madonna,
    Bros, Happy Mondays, Shamen, New Order start doing House based mixes
    you know something has influenced mainstream.  Also what about the
    early 80's synth stuff?  Depeche Mode, Yazoo, some of Kraftwerk's
    stuff.  Technology came to the forfrony in the 80's completely changing
    the way a lot of people went about making records.
    
    My favourite decade.
    
    matty

>>    OK, who were that bunch of dodos who did such 'classics' of tosh as
>>    'Aye Aye Aye Aye Moosey'? Am I in the right decade here...?
    
>>    Bob


Bob,

Definately 80's tosh with a vengeance. None other than the fabulous
Modern Romance who inexplicably were "big in Japan", resulting in
a live album which was released just as they were on the wane in
the UK. Just how the Japs came to terms with the Mods' (as they shall
be known) very own brand of Pub-Bastard-Salsa still mystifies me to 
this day. In their wake I can imagine millions of Japanese youth 
bowling along dressed like George the Hofmeister Bear muttering 
things like "triffic" and "Knock it on the 'ead John". 

Barry.

    Sounds plausible, but you've got a nerve calling New Order 'mainstream'
    and implying they jumped onto the dance bandwagon. They started it,
    more like, at least in the Indie sector. Quite possibly with "Blue
    Monday" in 83. 
    
    
    Rod

    re-1,  I'm not saying New Order jumped on the dance bandwagon - they're
    my favourite band and I have a lot of respect for what they've done
    with their music and the fact that they haven't compromised in any way.
    I'm saying that House has influenced them and has become part of their
    makeup.  I'd also say that they influenced House, but they didn't
    invent it.

    Re .48
    Sorry Tim youre right I forgot about House..perhaps I was thinking that
    house could be a 90's 'trend'..my memory aint good, I am getting on a
    bit !!...perhaps also that in the 70's and 80's the 'trends' included
    almost 'mass adoption' of the music and its style by the followers.
    The styles these days (christ I do sound like an old codger) seem to be
    more minority than majority..perhaps because there is more than one
    style/trend...thinking about it Gothic was a style/trend in the 80's
    albeit a minority one...then again we cant have a punk explosion every
    decade.
    Still waiting for the White Riot...
    paul

    
    Reminded this morning of some REAL tosh.
    
    Herbie Hancock and that bl**dy Voicoder thing which was going to
    revolutionise music. Basically it made everyone sound as if they
    were singing through a Dalek voice box and made a generally crap
    sound.
    
    Thankfully, they (and Herbie) are rarely, if ever, heard these days!
    
    Mark

    I really think that Acid House was the "new punk" in a way, it was
    underground at the time and has influenced so much music since just
    like punk did.  I'm sure that the charts etc would be completely
    different today if Acid House hadn't occurred and made so many people
    take an interest in dance music.  There will never be a new punk but I
    think we witnessed a similar musical revolution recently without really
    knowing it.  At the time was punk percieved as being something that
    would change all music from then on?
    
    Just some thoughts.
    
    Tim
    ---

    >>     Thankfully...Herbie (is) rarely, if ever, heard these days!

    Aaaaargh!! What's Herbie Hancock doing in the 80s tosh note ? With
    respect Mark this man was playing (great) music years before you or I
    were even around. I'll loan you my copy of "Village Life" to prove it.
    You shouldn't disturb the saints in here.

    - Tim
    

    
    I know Herbie Hancock was producing music long ago (is he really old
    enough to have been producing music before I was around?), but that
    does NOT excuse his support for the Voicoder, a truly appaling blight
    on the musical world.
    
    I mean, how does the argument that "Hitler was a bastard, but we better
    not knock him 'coz he did build the Autobahnen!" sound? :^)
    
    Mark

    Herbie was, and still is, a jazz great.  His foray into computer
    technology  and bland funk, should be forgiven. 
    
    Mikef

    Worse. Now it's Herbie and Hitler. You really should listen to some of
    his music and i'ts a good job you used that ---> :^)

    I've never heard the voicoder. It must be pathetic if you can write off
    a whole musician's career on account of it.

    - The Third Man
    

   Don't forget Russ Abbott.

    Re. Herbie Hancock >
    
    Who caught Simon 'patronising b*st*rd' Mayo giving "You Bet Your Love"
    a spin just before eight o'clock this morning?  Great to hear it again,
    tho' the vocoder-inspired (!) vocals are a tad grating in this day and
    age.  I must confess to being quite impressed with them at the time
    (note - late '70s), to the extent that I even bought the "Sunlight" LP 
    featuring the immense "I Thought It Was You", as well as YBYL.
    
    Then again, I'll second Mikef's motion that the man will always be best
    remembered for his contributions to modern jazz.
    
    - Dougie

    
    You've never heard the thing that distorts his voice so badly (also
    used briefly by Stevie Wonder to severely damage his musical
    credibility!)? Now I can understand who you are prepared to defend him!
    :^)
    
    OK, I'm feeling generous, I'll allow his other output to be taking into
    consideration and commute his sentence to a life of listening to 'You 
    better bet your love'! (Worse than death anyway, in my book! :^))
    
    Mark
    
    PS Hitler ranks slightly higher than Herbie as, to my knowledge, he
    never recorded any records which used a Voicoder! :^)
    

    I *love* Vocoders.  Anybody got one for sale?

    "War is Stupid" - Culture Club  (great title george)

    - Tim

    As far as I'm concerned, just about anything from ZTT and anything
    produced by SAW deserves permanent incarceration in this note.
    
    Replace the word _war_ with either _ZTT_ or _SAW_ in this lyric, and it
    all makes perfect sense.
    
    "War! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"
    
    Balders_who_still_doesn't_give_a_f*&k_what_Frankie_said

    Not so fast, Frankie's version of "War" is pretty good and even if you
    don't like it, it's not their song anyway. It was originally done by
    an eponymous (?) US group in the 70s.
    
    
    Rod

    I wasn't knocking the song, either version of it. I can distinctly
    remember dancing to the Frankie version whilst still at Poly. My vitriol
    was be hurled at ZTT, a thoroughly deserving target. The lyric just
    seemed appropriate.
    
    But, for what its worth, I did think that the whole Frankie thing
    sucked. Pun intended :-)

    had a hit with 'Low Rider'.
    
    Meanwhile, (and there is a connection to the last few notes), a true
    bit of top-notch 80's tosh has to be the Something Sisters 'Frankie'.

    And the horrendous cinema sausage advert it spawned ...
    
    Pointer sisters I think.

    Nah, wasn't it Sister Sledge? And leave ZTT out of this - Propaganda's
    Secret Wish is a classic!

    Propagandas Duel was also an erm jewel =8*) not to mention Dr Mabuse

    Art of Noise were on ZTT, and 808 State still are.  I can't think of
    any labels I don't like.
    
    What about horrible record sleeves?  Hot Chocolate - the one with the
    Malteser held in those lips! Urgghh.

   Everything by Propaganda was brilliant, especially Duel/Jewel and
   the Secret Wish album.  Pity Paul Morley of ZTT was involved....

    Everything - have you heard their recent stuff, its terrible compared
    to A Secret Wish, but then again the line up is vastly different.

   It's not the same without Claudia Brueken (sp?).

    
    Late 70s or early 80s? Not sure, but Kate Bush must rate as ENC
    material if I ever heard it! Tosh, tosh, tosh.
    
    She makes Queen sound like Status Quo in terms of pretention! :^)

	Don't you *dare* insult Kate Bush! She is the most perfect woman
	that has ever lived, and can do no wrong in any way whatsoever.

	JJ.

    
    Ok, if you can ignore her singing, I'll agree she's pretty acceptable!
    :^)
    
    Mark

	But I *like* her singing...

	JJ.

    Kate Bush is a irreplacable part of my late teens.

    wasnt there some 'scandal' about the photographs promoting Ms Bush for
    her 1st album..the on in the pink top with prominent nipples...as they
    were actually fake nipples ??  I read this as part of a review of "The
    Womans Work" (I think thats whats its called) which is a complete
    collection of all her LP's. Like her or not, she has managed to be
    creative and popular at the same time for a long time. I dont like her
    personally, but then again I dont like any woman with fake nipples !!!
    Paul

    She didn't like the photo of her in a leotard - which was quite
    revealing.   The nipples didn't look fake to me.  She tried to get the
    photo destroyed, but it still turns up.

    The NME gave away a poster style version some time last year I seem to
    remember.

    On the ZTT topic SEAL's new album is on ZTT, although I noticed they've
    moved from Island to Warner Brothers.
    
    As for horrors what about
    
    	'Oh superman', that dreadful record that lasted for an eternity.
    
    	Or  'My lucky number', what a screech.

    Which goes to prove the ole Paul Simon point: One man's ceiling is
    another man's floor.

    Well then, who can forget how much we hated Liquid Gold? Remember
    Dance Yourself Dizzy? Exits to the sound of blood boiling.
                                                            
    barry.

    Wh-h-h-h-o rem-m-m-m-m-m-bers a-a-a-a-a-all those 12" inch
    ex-ex-ex-tended remixes wh-wh-wh-wh-which had l-l-l-lengthy
    in-n-n-n-tros, a f-f-f-few seconds o-o-o-of yer ac-ac-ac-tual
    song and th-th-th-then finished j-j-j-just as they st-st-st-st
    -started? T-t-t-t-t-tosh!
    
    b-b-b-b-arry. 
    

    y-y-y-e-e-s-s. I got the Shamen 'Boss Drum' single the other week and
    it has eight - yes 8 mixes of the same song ! all with daft names...

    Seemingly Johnathan King has an album out that contains only one song -
    remixed however many times to make an LP - I heard his tribute to
    Morrisey (done in Smiths style) - "Oh Morrisey - you're such a splendid
    chap - but why is it you sound so upset all the time ??"
