Hey, those of you who remember the 80s - Ultravox are re-forming!

[JackieNo]

They'll tour next year apparently: story on the BBC. Am ().

Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh Viennaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Well, quite. Just what I'm now singing to myself, MadreInglese.

credit crunch is hitting everyone's pension plans but really spare us the aged 80's 'rock' band revival.

[ooooooooooooooooooooh VIIIIIIIIENNNNNAA]

No no, theGoat - bring on the old gimmers, I say!

The old gimmers are the best. I hardly know half the stuff in the "charts" these days.

I wonder whether he still has those pointy sideburns.

oh Vienna

This means nothing to meeeee....but bumping anyway.

Enola Gay

it was all very well in teh 80's to have a collection of mishapen shortarses standing around wearing their big brothers raincoat in a pretentious fashion, but in the cold light of the new millenium and with the gimmer factor it is just freakish.

ffs, i loved the cure but am disturbed by their comeback. morning after mascara and crazy hair is the preserve of the young.

I love the gimmers, Goat, sad but true.

i loved the gimmers in their youth, for me their place is on graffitied cassettes made up by love lorn teenage boys.

I am awaiting the revival of Limahl and Kajagoogoo

i am getting a bad hair theme fimbo

You need Flock of Seagulls if you want bad hair...

Not cool

did they sing anything other than vienna?

Yes - Enola Gay!

Enola Gay was Orchestral Maneouvres in the Dark, Fimbo .

omd sang that

Love's great adventure
Dancing with tears in my eyes

OMD - I remember them!

There are lots of reference to Ultravox and Enola Gay
