I second that - catchy song, but don't really make sense as it didn't happen!

Don't know Jay, Trevor Horn, the guy with glasses, was in Yes, but then again he did give us Frankie Goes to Hollywood........

Frankie were a pure pop band - came well after punk had run it's day.

Maximum Joy -lesser known song but beautiful music -sort of gets you feeling up in the air - so i thought you'd like it BG, that plus the photos on this version.

I think "2 Tribes" is one of the best records of the 1980's!

Maximum Joy is good also. They have a sound of their own - Horn said he set about making a computer sound like a band -because all their music was automated on computers!

It must be so boring, being young nowadays.

Nothing really new's come along, to kick the apple cart up the arse, since 1987, when Acid and the rave scene happened.

The youth of today are just so dull, lazy, and complacent.

Don't know about boring, but they do have everything at their fingertips -there are times when I think I'd like to change places with my sons, they have so many things that we didn't have or couldn't even dream of having.

Must admit though, I'd do 10 times what they do with the time and resources they have available, even with my 48 years -if i was only 19 or 24 like they are ...Let me loose!

As for new music try listening to "Skream" , "High Tech" and loads of others on internet, (if you want more detail can ask Ricky and Eddy for names as I can't remember them). There is new music out there, it's just not on the commercial network. (I am constantly bombarded by it!)

Afterthought - Lazy and Complacent - Agree!

Never boring or dull - I love 'em, but that may reflect on my mentality

But then we thought our parents were "old farts" and didn't understand anything either!

Oh I know my techno trance from my handbag house, but it's all just a bastardisation of the dance music that happened when House, and the rave scene started.

From the time of the Teds, Britain invented, and imaginatively reinvented youth culture.

Sadly this is no longer the case.

British youth take their lead from America.

Oh Bondage, Up Your's, Uncle Sam.

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop

Modern pop songs don't sound new or original. I always feel like I've heard it all before.
