If I had a photograph of you



Another of our famed "80s album cover" shots!

[Taken outside the venue for my sister's wedding, The Distillers - which in itself sounds like the sort of weird name some 80s band might choose]

Speaking of which...


A Flock of Seagulls

      Shame, really, it was the only thing they did that made any kind of impact - I love that song! Jx

    Actually, "I Ran(So Far Away)" was a much bigger hit for them in the States where it went Top 10 (but missed the UK Top 40 altogether). I love that one but nothing tops "Wishing". It captures the dreamy 80s vibe so well and that keyboard riff is one of the best I have ever heard.

    The greatest hits CD I have from them includes a nine minute extended version of the song. Heaven...

      I had actually never heard "I Ran" until I was searching for this one, and I must admit I have forgotten it again. Jx

    Really? Funny how these things can be, I keep hearing "I Ran" on the radio and I always thought it had been a hit in the UK until recently.
