Your First Single, Album and Gig

shakespears sister - smiths crocodiles - echo and the bunnymen The Smiths- Free Trade Hall

happy with these 3

we are the world (that band aid rip off -- the money was going to charity) undercover of the night - rolling stones billy joel - sometime in the 1980s. Good show, honest.

I was a bit of a late starter with singles,seeing as I was one of those who Peter Kay joked about,who taped the Top 40 chart,and kept recording the DJ's voice on the end of the song! AAARGH!

Then I started buying pre-recorded cassettes.

So....

I saw that 'tour' as well and I have to say that, that was pretty awful too. Not sure if it's the venue as I have very few recollections of ever seeing a decent concert there... Electronic, New Order, Ultravox and Depeche Mode have all disappointed me there...!

Lets hope New Order can break my albatross!

PS I was a huge Ultravox fan but now all I can listen to nowadays is the 'Rage In Eden' era. Everything else seems very dated to me...

Do you/did you like John Foxx?

Rage in Eden seems to be the only one by them which remains a good album. It is the only one I rebought in cd...

Concerning John Foxx's era : once every three years... Not bad, but seem more 70s than end of the 70s. Compared to them, the Stranglers sound much more modern.

Huge fan of the Metamatic and Burning Car era as well as his work with Ultravox. The Garden was good but after that my interest stopped.

I have read some good reviews of his later work though...

(My apologies for not replying in French! )
