Good looks and attitude make for great salesmen.

Alphaville were a far better band with some great songs but Hartwig Schierbaum (aka Marian Gold) didn't have the looks

What was the cover version LeeB? Struggling to think.

My guess would be White Lines?

Public Enemy's 911 is a Joke.

Still one of my favourite bands. Unfortunately their new single is terrible

I even own these....

Duran Duran were just shouty shit

This x 10.

How the got to be as successful as they did is one of life's great mysteries.

They were hungry like the wolf.

Roger and Jon (?) were interviewed before the FA Cup final debacle; someone posted the link on here.

Depressingly, just referring to the "the FA Cup Final debacle" doesn't necessarily reduce it down to one specific game.  I'm guessing though it was Debacle Mk II.

I remember reading that Roger Taylor's childhood dream was to Villa keeper.

Also agree about Alphaville - Afternoons In Utopia is one of my favourite albums.

1891-92 still particularly rankles with me.
