You're mistaken if you think I am interested in your shallow bonhomie. You strike me as a poster of adolescent fluff.

And here is your thread sinking into a bog of indifference.

Who knows how it may have flowered if you had responded more maturely on the Hall and Oates posts?

Ps Well done on your multitude 'you tube' links which, well, accrued zero interest

Split Enz - True Colours

One of the first big gigs I went to. Not their best album. Preferred their art-rock of the mid-70s. But it was feelgood music.

Oh, God. I love Split Enz and, of course, Crowded House. I had 'Mental Notes' in my L.P collection from the mid 70s

Do whatever dismissive stuff you want with this post.

I love 1980 music, and am not asking you for a response!

The Pretenders - Pretenders

I thought this came out in 1978 or 1979 but no.

Thanks

(I have asked him already, but he has spat his dummy, and isn't talking to me)

I have certainly come to appreciate it in later life now that music isn't tribal anymore like it was when I was a teenager. What appealed to that teenage me 40 years ago was the obliqueness and unconventionality of people like David Byrne and David Bowie rather than the paranoia and cynicism of Roger Waters.

Ah. Thank the Lord for the gift of rapier wit

I see you (wisely) failed to engage with the 'Venn Diagram' thing from your chum

Good choice!

The B-52's - Wild Planet

Their best album. Singing songs from this album to myself sustained me as I walked the Pennine Way in the Summer of 1980.

Simple Minds - Empires and Dance

The single that I really liked, The American, was on Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call which cam out the following year.
