They were extraordinarily special, they were pioneers in video, and in the fusion of disco and punk, they have continued for 40+ years, and every album is radically different than the last. They sell out stadiums all over the world to this day. What more do I have to add!

    I had to come back and say, there is no way to explain how exciting this movement was. When Duran Duran broke through with “Planet Earth” the music/clothes/ Dancing in the video was explosive for teens. It started a whole new way of style/fun/individuality through fashion. I can not rave enough how lucky I feel to have been young at this time in music history. Please check out “Planet Earth” it really was the beginning of bringing New Romantic to the main stream ❤❤❤❤

    London had a lot going on beginning in the 60s. Proto punk, garage rock, Pub Rock, Brit Pop, post-Punk. LOTS to discover there. I just did an over hour long playlist of just London pub rockers (pub rock being confined largely to the 70s and early 80s there, at least the well known stuff as it was the beginnings), and that just covered one song from a few of the bands. Joe Strummer of The Clash came from the 101ers who were a pub rock band.
    That is why it gets so specific when it comes to music at times. A friend of mine did an hour long play list of just Manchester bands, and it was fire too. We could add to those playlists for hours and not cover all the great stuff.
    You're hearing one or two songs or at times one album by a select artist. My advice is to make note of what you like or interests you particularly and explore it more. You have not even touched on Power Pop, New Wave, or Pub Rock and you really should.

    A quintessential 80's tune, no auto tune, just what looks like brand new instruments, all are impeccably dressed, look at those suits, especially the lead singers suit is awesome IMO, and would still in 2023 look as striking as it did in 1983. These guys radiated class as well as not using any auto tune or other artificial musical enhancement, just pure talent. I miss music like this from the 80's, the change from the 70's was so drastic that it actually show's that when you listen closely how good and different the melody
    and flow in music like "True" is. It makes me remember the feelings I had when I first heard this back in 1983, it also shows, to me at least, that any really great songs will never lose its luster and how this, even 40 years later, still is as soul stirring and powerful when compared to the absolutely horrible garbage 90% of today's music is.

    I remember skating to this at the skating rink back in the early 80s with my girlfriend, now my wife. Lots of memories of the wonderful 1980s. And this song is iconic of that decade,

    Killer voice. They had 2 other American Top 40 hits, "Gold", the follow-up to "True" and "Only When You Leave" from their next album. Both good.

    From The Righteous Brothers who started Blue-Eyed Soul, (which is R & B music that sounds like Black music created in the 50's & 60's highlighted by the Motown sound), to Doobie Brothers....Blue-Eyed soul spilled over in the 80's with Halls & Oats and Spandau Ballet leading the way. Excellent song and Excellent group.

    If you would like to hear their more new wave sound from their debut, I would highly recommend 'To Cut A Long Story Short' from their very first album. Plenty of synth and a hypnotic bass line (plus the video is 80s alternative new wave AF!)

    My favourite by this band……Lifeline……if you want more of Tony as a solo….look for song called Obvious…..done during covid times……he still got it and the video was made by his daughter

    This is the best slow dance song of the 80's ... and 90's, and 00's and 10's and 20's and most likely the 30's !

    I graduated high school in 1982 - the year this song came out - and I immediately fell in love with it! Rushed out and bought the cassette! Loved the album! Loved the group! Loved the European sexy vibe of the song! Brings back lots of great memories! :)
