I kind of think that should be the official Nu-HotW mind-yourself-our-time-will-come song.

Not really keen on the... whatever the weird synth piano-trumpet thing that plays right at the opening and then once or twice after/between the bridge and chorus. Hate it in fact, yet I can't envision the song without it either.

4/5.

Well, due to the absolute excess of pictures in one post, not only can I not enjoy any contributions to this thread, but my iPad has crashed on a loop so many times I've lost other tabs I had open, for more than mere entertainment. Many thanks once again to Nightjar.

I like this album, often preferring Bee Gees songs sung by other artists. I think this album is kind of where my true era of synthy pop music starts; late 1982, the start of Culture Club's chart dominance and all that.

Oh yes, the album doh

Well, a load of YouTube links rather than pictures. It means that once I've looked at the post containing them, it starts freezing and crashing on a loop.

So I can only post at the end without reading any of the other posts, save the last one. Like its owner, my iPad is a capricious thing. But I've always liked "Heartbreaker" as an apt signature tune the world was listening to as I was born. I'd have preferred "Electric Avenue" as my #1. I'm ok with the American top hit that week. Bob Seger "Roll Me Away" would've done too. Or Springsteen - "Tougher Than The Rest" or "Born To Run" - either of those.

"Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by". A great line from Dionne, a summing up for many I feel - myself unfortunately included.

BTW, CT, when you get a chance, go out and buy a proper laptop (y'know, maybe the new ★★★★★-reviewed MacBook Air - £199.99 from Comet) instead of buying Komodo Dragonskin shoes with crystal chandeliers on from Arbuthnot & Quilligan of Fitzborkia that cost £∞.∞∞. Colbert
