Not quite the same lines maybe, but Purple Rain is one of the greatest albums ever.

I know lots of songs. I've been around a while. Flock of Seagulls had some good tunes in spite of their hair.

I don't know much about Cock Robin, though.

 

[LMP]

the guitarist from A Flock of Seagulls is my guitar teacher.

not the 80s Flock, but the 90s Flock.

and I love 99% of the early 80s new wave bands with a passion.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Oh yes ... A Flock Of Seagulls !!

My faves are ...

Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)
I Ran
Space Age Love Song
The More You Live, The More You Love
Nightmares
Transfer Affection

Cock Robin had hits like Just around the corner, When your heart is weak, Remeber the promise you made.... ring any bells?
I also wanted to add bands like Dead or alive, Talk Talk, Thompson Twins

Sounds like a hot 80's mix cd is shaping up.

 

[fly so high!]

Was Dead or Alive considered rare???
"You spin me round" was a hit right through the 80's and beyond!!!!

[jimmmm]

Care, had a brilliant single in the mid '80s, Flaming Sword, think Ian Broudie was a member, also Bourgie Bourgie released one of the greatest songs of that or any other decade, Breaking Point, criminally overlooked, reached no higher than No. 48, also E&TB, The Cars, Blondie, Fun Boy Three, The Adventures, The Cult, The Smiths, wasn't such a bad decade after all, was it?

 

[Bono's shades]

There was this group called Bourgeious Tag (sp?) that had a beautiful song called "I Don't Mind At All" that came out around 1987 or 1988. It's not exactly rare since I used to hear it on the radio and on MTV. I guess it's more of a "one-hit wonder."

I remember taping it off the radio. I think I still have that cassette somewhere.

I should find out what album that came from and buy it.
