That was a very solid episode, from start to finish, with highlights by the Bangles, the Cure, Holly Johnson, Transvision Vamp and the Beat Masters.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

By Spider-Man do you mean Lullaby? Cos that only makes 3, not 4.

I'm up for that, I love JW. I was the only person in our 6th form Cure fan clique who thought it was good.

We'll add it to the list.

sad yes

Having had a quick check on YouTube, it turns out I meant The Caterpillar. Therefore, the ones I knew I knew were The Love Cats, The Caterpillar, Friday I'm in Love, and that the one I knew but didn't think I did was Lullaby.

by Fangirl Three Sun Mar 08, 2020 7:22 pm

Well, I must apologise for misjudging you, because The Lovecats and The Caterpillar are ace.

Who was the song I'm thinking of by? Was it Massive Attack?

"Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air..." - You Got the Love by The Source featuring Candi Staton - or Florence and the Machine, depending on your vintage.

I used to get Inner City and the Intercity 125 mixed up.

I've now got cravings to look at pictures of that legendary and ultra futuristic train.

Over the years whenever I've thought of the singer of Midnight Oil I've always thought of Angry Anderson of Kylie & Jason fame. I can kind of see why.

And the guitar player at the back who looks exactly like Robert Smith.
