The Mission - Tower of Strength (TOTP 1988)

[@christinafg1864]

This was one of my brothers favourite bands. I never appreciated it back then and couldn’t get into it. Just a couple weeks ago my beloved brother Charlie, passed away and now I can’t get ENOUGH of it ! This track will be played at his funeral on the 26th Feb 2024 😌
Charlie, you were my tower of strength ❤️‍🔥😎💪🏽

This band will always have a special place in my heart. Discovered them as troubled 17 year old in 1987. Thank you Mission

I'm 53. I've loved this band since high school. This cd came out the year I graduated.

[@paulwhitehouse8911]

The most under rated British band ever. I've every studio album they made. My favourite band of all time

[@keithbowcott6231]

One of the best tracks of all time, knocks the charts of today for six

[@gaspanda]

Loved watching this on Top of the Pops I remember it well!

[@bobbaldwin3572]

Listening to this in 2018 and it's still a monster of song

Rob Baldwin 1st time hearing it in 2020 ... it’s now on my quarantine gems 💎 list

[@Pedro8k]

He has such a strong voice this is still so great now

12" total monster of a song (epic). Don't see these type of tunes no more, maybe my age...

[@inlakesh555]

Check Greta van Fleet... not Goth, I know

[@alanwatson149]

We all need a tower of strength in these times

[@Totalavulsion]

This is a mash of U2, Simple Minds and Led Zeppelin
