Midgedude the first one is David Bowie, Loving the alien, I used to love that!

David Bowie

Sorry. Just thought it might be helpful to repeat that Flea.

For emphasis.

midgedude · 30/01/2021 20:55

yes to Bowie also

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 20:55

I’d have picked the Cure and DD for most popular, cant think who else.
