Must confess to knowing very little about the Foxx incarnation of the band and wilfully tarring him with the stodgy Midge brush.

I will say when they had Foxx and an exclamation point, they were a totally different, much better band.

I recommend Inder be tied down and bled until he's ice cold and no longer interested in the Carpenters.

Horrible title apart, that's not bad at all. Guess there were a lot of those early punky bands who subsequently went down the synth/commercial route.Marky Dread wrote: ↑02 Jun 2017, 1:47amUltravox! were great!Wolter wrote: ↑01 Jun 2017, 11:30pmHa!Low Down Low wrote: ↑01 Jun 2017, 11:27pmNever liked Ultravox or even met anyone who claimed they did.

Agreed, she was a lovely singer who had to elevate a lot of songs that were basically okay. Had she been a part of ABBA, she would be even more fondly remembered.
