all the people concerned about whether listening to frankie, the pet shop boys or whoever might make them gay really need to have a look at themselves.

I also like"ferry" and they're version if "Born to Run" was really powerful compared to the original by Springstein.

I remember when Two Tribes was No.1 back in 84, Relax came back up the chart to stall at No.2 behind Two Tribes for a few weeks. I thought that was awesome to have a band with the top 2 singles on the chart.

I was 10 years old when FGTH hit the charts in 84, and I didn't know what Homosexuality, Heterosexuality or bisexuality meant. I thought the music was great. Thats all that mattered to me. I thought Relax was about chillin out or being lazy

Kinell, Dawson, have you ever even listened to Metallica's music?  Some of the most intricate guitar, bass and drum work that you will find anywhere.  Fair play if they're not your cup of tea but, FFS, to suggest that a six year old could play the stuff they do is just talking out your a.rse. 



Back on the subject of FGTH, I always appreciated their stuff...helps define that moment of music in the early 80s for me.  In fact, I was playing the clip of 'Power of Love' that Baz posted up last night and that led to a whole youtube song association game.  You know, you get watching a classic video on Youtube and start thinking about all the other great music from that era?  For the next few hours the missus and I scoured youtube for other classic tunes and vids from the early-mid 80s.  The higlight was deffo 'Alive and Kicking'...class tune!

Bang on the head there Bob. Metallica is or rather was an unbelievably good outfit....


Oh! and btw.... FGTH is just not my cup of tea.... I hate synthesized music.
