What did the leavers of the Human League do and who was originally meant to be the singer?

wowfudge · 21/10/2019 20:29

They formed Heaven 17.

Your question's not clear, but I think you're referring to them wanting Glen Gregory to be the lead singer of the Human League.

How many hit singles did Madness have? And for a bit of fun, list them.

LoveMySituation · 21/10/2019 20:42

Yes fudge, that's what I meant

WildRosie · 22/10/2019 11:54

The Prince, My Girl, Return of the Los Palmas Seven, Shut Up, Embarrassment, Grey Day, One Step Beyond, Grey Day, Our House, House of Fun, Wings Of A Dove, The Sun And The Rain, Michael Caine, Cardiac Arrest, Waiting For The Ghost Train, I Pronounce You, Lovestruck.

Those are the ones I can remember.

Who had a hit with the King of Wishful Thinking?

Sorry. I'll make it up.

King of Wishful thinking was Go West.

Sticking with Go West, they had a hit with "What a fool
believes" but who sang the original?

Marti Webb - Take that look off your face from Tell Me on a Sunday

wowfudge · 28/10/2019 19:38

The Doobie Brothers. Think you're still in the 70s though!

What was Billy Joel's early 80s album called and name a hit from it.

xsquared · 28/10/2019 20:19

@wowfudge Go West is 80s though. That counts surely!

xsquared · 28/10/2019 20:22

Plus it was released in the 90s by Peter Cox.
