It was alright in the 80s

[zagatoes30]

Yes, I am beaten.

But I do know where 'The Teardrop Explodes' got their name from

You've done it again

More by luck than judgement!

You're just a Daredevil, care to guess the other one as you are on a roll?

 

[CatmanV2]

God, it could be loads. I might make a stab at someone like New Order. Based on style, more than anything else

Flock of Seagulls - being scousers ??

 

[midlifecrisis]

I had a look for Vanessa Paradis, Joe Le taxi and you tube is full of versions from when she was 15, she's aged well in this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9nRa2bgxE from 2014

Second bit it right but not the seagulls

She looks fabulous. I'm scared to look for Blondie videos now. Perhaps best left as a memory. Or another question - how can you link Siohban Fahey and Debbie Harry? Other than being the ultimate 80s fantasy threesome

Surely it can't be Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

VP with those snake hips....shudder.

She looks amazing for a forty something.

This was where I was at in the decade that still rocks

Correct it's not

Clue - This band went under various variants of the same name

Sorry - no idea.

 

[Contigo]

Spiritualized? They went under Spiritualized electric mainline too. Saw them live loads, proper ambient band.

No but you have got the idea of the variant name

 

[zagatoes30]

Seems like there is no more idea

So Ian McCulloch - Echo and the Bunnymen was previously in a band called Crucial Three with Julian Cope - Teardrop Explodes and Pater Wylie - Wah!, The Might Wah! and numerous other variations of the Wah!

Pater Wylie - Wah!, The Might Wah! and numerous other variations of the Wah!

But I do know where 'The Teardrop Explodes' got their name from C

Where did they get their name? I guess the "!" has some meaning.

The Teardrop Explodes was from a Daredevil comic panel:

[Navcorr]

Thanks. That bit I knew though as an ex was a big fan. Mostly, and somewhat annoyingly, of Cope rather than the music. Maybe that's why she became an ex

I was wondering about the various Wah! names. I'm fairly sure a pedal won't be involved.

 

[Contigo]

The Mighty Wah! Here's a top tune from them.
