I'm 41, he's 67(!?!), but i'm obsessed, want to write florid fanmail and am watching you tube clips of him all the time. Talk about undignified Blush .

I still love Adam Ant and still definitely would Grin

I like to you tube his videos, interviews and any films or tv shows he had a part in, if I have time to spare.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 21/06/2016 19:40

No I think it's really a David Essex. You used to love to sing like him Grin

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 21/06/2016 19:40

Don't know where that a came from

auldspinster · 21/06/2016 19:52

David Essex is a lovely looking fella but my mum has first dibs on him. Adam Ant is also lovely.

YANBU - men were very pretty in the 80s and didn't wear stupid humungous beards to make them look like old men.

auldspinster · 21/06/2016 20:24

Oh yes - David Sylvian; his wee bro Steve Jansen; John Taylor; Bowie - mmm.

You can't have Adam Ant. I dibbed him first

auldspinster · 21/06/2016 20:28

Green Gartside too, he looks much younger than his 60 years.

Least it isn't David Van Day Grin

auldspinster · 21/06/2016 20:37

Eek, David Van Day is repulsive!

John Foxx is an absolute genius and one of the most influential pioneers of electronic music. He's been prolific in the past few years and his ambient stuff with Harold Budd is sublime. I've seen him a couple of times - in 1983 and 2010 and his voice was just as strong.

I'm currently in love with this

HooseRice · 21/06/2016 21:12

Nope I dibbed him first

Mrsraypurchase · 21/06/2016 21:20

I'm collecting him after the 80s rewind festival this summer. It's all arranged.
