Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You've never heard of Spandau Ballet? I envy you that. They seem to pop up on the soundtrack of any movie set in the 80s now.matedog wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 10:51amI got 7/10 and I don't think I've ever heard of most of those bands. Spandau Ballet?

Re: Quiz Thread
Duran Duran heavily based their sound on their later work, check out 'Quiet Life' for evidence. Their earlier stuff was quite New York Dolls-y. I love the song 'Adolescent Sex' from their first album.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 11:46amHeard of them, and undoubtedly heard whatever hit they had, but don't know them off-hand.JennyB wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 11:20amJapan is amazing though.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 11:19amYou've never heard of Spandau Ballet?

I'll see what I've got on some of those 80s compilations, or else got to Spotify.

Re: Quiz Thread
I sampled a compilation on Spotify. Marky's right—not for me. And Heston is correct about Duran Duran on "Quiet Life."
