7/10 - how the hell are you supposed to tell the Kemp brothers apart? Also, WHERE WAS MARTIN GORE?
Limeys have to know that stuff to get their O levels.
I got 7/10 and I don't think I've ever heard of most of those bands. Spandau Ballet? Japan???Heston wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 8:19amCan you match these New Romantic stars to their classic haircuts? I got 10/10, this was Heston fodder...

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?

Heard 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?

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?

Japan is super awesome. Duran Duran wanted to be them but couldn't.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?

I can't imagine they will rock your world doc. But there are a couple of goodies.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 12:34pmI'll see what I've got on some of those 80s compilations, or else got to Spotify.
I envy him for that too. But probably in a different way.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 11:19amYou've never heard of Spandau Ballet? I envy you that.

I think the Dolls things is more of a look than sound to be honest.
