For some reason I love the song the more you love the more you learn by flock of seagulls. No idea where I heard it, think my eldest sister was a fan.

Slightly derailing but Radio 2 have a very limited playlist of old songs. Fleetwood Mac are very overplayed.

That's interesting that you think this. I listen to radio two very occasionally but when I do I find that they play songs is completely forgotten about, not having heard for years, whereas stations like Greatest Hits radio or Heart 70s/80s tend to play the same songs over . Perhaps if I listened more often I would see the repetition .

I presume you mean by 'When Love Breaks Down' by Prefab Sprout :)

Scritti Politti were also great - my fave was 'Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry for Loverboy)'

LunaNorth · 15/06/2021 22:32

Sorry, yes! The two have always been interchangeable in my head!

I bloody love Oh Patti. Another lost classic.
