Wow awesome Dan...some good retro stuff.
I love ABC...especially the Abracadabra album.
I bought some cassettes a few days ago...for 95cents a piece....I got:
The Human League...Crash
Heaven 17...How Men Are
The Alarm...Declaration
Talk Talk...It's My Life
oooh...Human League and Talk Talk. Great stuff.
I know Human League has a greatest hits, and I need to get it, but do you know if TT does?
I'm sure Talk Talk has something out there dealing with greatest hits.
by the way, you wouldn't happen to have any Blow Monkeys would ya? been looking for that forever.
Another I'm looking for is The Honey Thieves.
No...matter of fact I been looking for some myself. They seem to get mentioned a lot, and I don't remember them. Did they have any hits?
Do you have any OMD? I've been on a huge 80's kick lately. Listening to The Outfield right now, and just got done with Pet Shop Boys. Been listening to a lot of Glass Tiger lately too.
Blow Monkeys had the song I think titled something up your sleeve...i dont' know the actual song title.
Honey Thieves had a killer tune that got radio play called HONEY THEIF.
others I should mention are Johnny Hates Jazz, Wet Wet Wet, Blancmange, Go West.
Yeah, Johnny Hates Jazz...shattered dreams. Do you have any of their albums?
Spandau Ballet
Naked Eyes
Level 42
The Motels
Modern English
Boy Meets Girl
Bronski Beat
I was just listening to radio during the 80's, but buying hard rock/glam/heavy metal, etc.
Always loved the one hit wonders, but some of them such as Pet Shop Boys and Outfield and Glass Tiger....once ya buy the album, ya find almost all their stuff is good. Others, ya see why they were one hit wonders. LOL!
LMFAO!!!...yep thsoe one hit wonders...hehehe.
And to answer your questin..I don't have any Johny Hates Jazz....but I know where I can get some. Theres this old Record store...and they man has tons of records,cassettes and a few cd's.I usually go there and buy cassettes for cheap then just transfer them onto CD.
I can do ya Talk Talk if ya want.
Go here....thsi is a cool place I always go too.

when ya go to the link...scroll to the bottom and hit the What Do They Look Like Now link.
I buy the cassettes too because basically most of this stuff is not on cd. Unless they came out with a greatest hits, and many did because they were all big in UK.
www.80sxchange.com is a good one.
Also, this:http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...=Bnbkvu3q5an4k
will get you to this awesome site, which lists related 80's artists below, and it goes on forever. You're probably like me and know of most of these bands but it's cool to find how thery got started, where the members went, what the UK hits were, how many albums etc....for instance, did you know that Limahl, who sang "Neverending Story" was the singer for Kajagoogoo? LOL!
Dan, did you know that most of those bands have cds on ebay? For real, if you want 'em and are willing to spend about $5 a pop, you can snag 'em there.
btw, I used to have the Johnny Hates Jazz cd...once upon a time. Actually, up until about several months ago. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I don't really do ebay though. I bought one thing on there. a drum machine, and I had to use my wife's info, cuz i'm not a member, or registered, or whatever. I got a lot of my 80's greatest hit cd's through BMG I think...or the other cd club.
Anyway, I like to listen to the cassettes that had their 1 hit on them, and if there is more stuff that could've been a hit, and I like their sound then I look into them more, so that's why it's easier to just buy $1 cassettes to check 'em out. If it's a band I like, then I would spend $5 on a greatest hits on ebay, but by the time you spend all that time and effort, it's a pain in the ass.
Marcus, I've checked out that pure 80's pop site before, and it seems like I can't click on anything on that site. Do you have to sign up or something?
BTW, I got Dead or Alive -gr. hits on now. I think Flock of Seagulls next.
Hey Marcus the reason you can't find "the Honey Thieves" is because they don't exsist.LOl That song was by a band called "Hipsway" and the Blow Monkeys single was "Digging your Scene".
I win round one of useless '80's knowledge.
Ashliegh
I knew that, I just didn't want to hurt his feelings. LOL!
Blow Monkeys also had "You Don't Own Me"
Hipsway...yeah "Honey Thief " is pretty much all they had.
LMFAO!!!....actually I found that out Ash....hahaha. The band is Hipsway like ya said.
But on my search.....to prove ya wrong....there is a band called The Honey Thieves....hahaha.
But yeah it's Hipsway...Thanx for ya late help Ash...LMFAO!!!
"Johnny Hates Jazz", now there's a name I haven't heard in a looong time!
One thing that really sticks in my mind was that the guy who was always pushed to the back in the photos bore an uncanny resembelance to a young Christopher Lee!!
I also remember this one Flock Of Seagulls video that sent the TV into "COLOUR OVERDRIVE"!!! Lots of flashing and state of the art camera tricks that didn't date too well when I saw it a year ago. Think it was "Who's That Girl?" or something like that.
Has to be seen to be believed!!
Yeah, the song would be.."who's that girl (she's got it)...but I've never seen the vid.
