To think erasure were underrated

[molyholy]

So many good hits. Seen they are on one of them rewind tours. H'I give you
blue savannah song
give a little respect
I love to hate you
Their version on Salisbury hill

the list is endless

YANBU. Loved A Little Respect, Oh L'Amour, Sometimes, Am I Right. I remember my upset when Kylie and Jason prevented Stop getting to number one! Run To The Sun is one of my favourite dancing round the house songs.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, oohoo, why is life so precious and so cruuueeel""

Erasure were the first group I really got into, when I was about 13/14. I used to play 'Drama' over and over.

YANBU!

Saw them live in Milton Keynes - mahoosive outdoor venue - 1st concert I went to.

Love them! I think "Circus" is one of my favourites.

YANBU. Ship of Fools was my very first single (7 inch!) from Woolworths. I am so proud when people have the "what was the first record you bought" conversations

Erasure playlist for the drive to my mother's this morning!

Stitch Fire up YouTube for the Run to the Sun video and see a pre-movies Jason Statham in all his silver spray-painted glory.

Love Erasure's version of In The Hall of the Mountain King. And Am I Right? is like hot chocolate for my ears. They have a song for every occasion, criminally underrated.

Utterly love Erasure, one of my favourite bands along with Pet Shop Boys. I went to see them just over a year ago and they were amazing, go and see them when they tour again.

My favourite songs are Oh L'amour, Phantom Bride and When I Needed You (melancholic mix) but there's not really many of theirs that I don't like.

YANBU. Many great tunes, Drama was my favorite.

I'm like them but I always sort of forget about them. However I saw them live a few years ago and it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to in terms of massive hits and a brilliant party atmosphere.

One of my favourite ever songs is Always but it makes me cry.

Love them so much

One of the best concerts I ever went to!

They did bingo during the interval
Love, love, love them!!

I really want to go and see them but doesn't look like they are touring any time soon.

I saw the Wild tour too, love Erasure and most of the stuff Vince Clarke did.

Thank you for this reminder..you have just greatly improved Monday's drive to work ☺

Erasure was my first big concert, funnily enough Guilty it was in Birmingham in 1989

Love them. Always will.

I bloody loved Erasure. Still do. Depeche Mode Yazoo. OMD Stephen Tin Tin Duffy. Love electro music.

Im sure these bands/ musicians were a big infuence on La Roux I like her too.

Has anyone listened to the album Nightbird? That has a lot of good songs and lives next to my cd player with my Erasure and James albums. Usually gets popped on a couple of times a week . Always is my absolute favourite of theirs though.

Absolutely love them.

Yabvvvu - can't stand them.

I adore Erasure and am convinced I read, at the end of last year, that they were touring at the end of this year but I'll be buggered if I can find anything about it now.

Fingers crossed.

I saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo 25 years ago and remember the interval where Andy Bell did bingo calling for tickets on everyone's seat, a big white swan and him singing Stop! in a lollipop lady outfit- happy memories!

They don't get played enough on the radio. Some great songs. My favourite is Always.

YANBU. That's all.

Love them - got them on my iPod too.

"Don't ever let me take you for granted/you've got your fingers on the pulse of my soul/ let me place a kiss in the small of your back/ love and protect you from the evil in this world"

Pure poetry.

Oh, and I'm sure I had my first, ahem, stirrings to the song "sometimes"
