Davkaus Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Howard Jones is fantastic, but just wasn't a substitute for Jesse Leach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely and utterly awful daytime rewind radio wankdribble but hey if it floats your boat, that's cool TFF are firmly at the Dullsville end of the synthpop spectrum Even Fiat Lux were better than TFF I remember when TFF started I was kinda interestedish in the first two singles (Mad World & Pale Shelter on an EP?) by the time the first album came out I was already bored of their schtick There we have it Bicks hates them , therefore they go on the cool wall and get confirmed as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2021 Slightly adjacent to the chat, but I find that when there’s a programme that involves the 80’s, yuppie culture, thatcher, etc “Everybody wants to rule the world” is normally not far behind in being the soundtrack to said programme. To the point where that song (to me anyway) basically is THE archetypal 80’s song. I could probably go further and say it’s essentially that repetitive two note synth bit throughout the song that evokes the decade. Just to reiterate, I’m not saying it’s the best song of the 80’s. I’m saying it’s possibly/probably the big hit that sounds the most 80’s to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have no particular opinions on TFF or DM having never gotten around to listening to anything other than their respective radio hits, but both Shout and Enjoy The Silence are bangers. But then, I also hold what I would imagine to be quite an unpopular proxy-opinion on the subject; I like the cheesy 90's trance heresies/homages* of both songs. *delete as appropriate.

mjmooney Posted June 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2021 TFF? Don't hate them, don't love them. Wouldn't buy, wouldn't turn off the radio. Typical 80s fare, but not the worst of that benighted decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2021 I really didn't expect to see this one run and run......but then I did mention music on VT. You lot are mental. Next you will be trying to kid on that U2 aren't the best band ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I was regaling a colleague just yesterday about the story of my head being forced within 1-metre of Bono's crotch. Wasn't even the worst thing that happened that night, I had to watch Athlete perform. Athlete. *shudder*. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
