Visage was a strange band, but also a really cool band! "The Anvil" "we Move" and "night train" were excellent songs. The 2nd Spandau Ballet album may have been thier best. Thompson Twins's second album with "love on your side" was great!

A very overlooked album was Adam Ant "strip" with Phil Collins playing drums on a few tracks. Human League had some cool stuff that still sounds good today.

Now, I actually saw an MTV or VHI bands reunited episode featuring Franky Goes to Hollywood, and although they had Holly Ivy, the main singer, they did have one guy that sang back-ups and danced. (Wearing a hard-hat more then likely!) but the drummer, guitarist and bassist were regular guys, and pro musicians. The orchestral stuff on that first album was done on samplers and synths by trevor Horn.

Missing person's first album still sounds good to this day, and i remember seeing them out in some lonely canyon one time, hooked up to a generator!

I used to dress really strange myself back then. I had multi colored hair, which I somtimes shaved off complelty. Bought New-Ro clothes at a store called GHQ at South Coast Plaza, and also bought vintage shirts at a place that used to be up on chapman avenue, where the santa ana hills start. There was some biker joint nearby at the time, I think it was "bobby Jean's" or something like that. A friend of mine scored a cool vintage bowling shirt, and the previous owner had put his name on the shirt as "beer"!!
