The 80's were the best decade.

actually i liked their first album .. after that i just found them too sterile - even at their 'dirtiest'

Didnt realise they were so popular over there urge,i get some funny looks if i say i am a fan nowadays,they're still making some good stuff today.

I haven't heard their recent stuff or followed it in some time, because I thought their most creative period was back there in their first four or five albums or so. "Some Great Reward," I thought, was some kind of achievement, and was the prettiest music they did before becoming completely dark.

Strange to see photos of them now, after they've made such a tremendous name and such tremendous money...strange to think they were starving blokes with keyboards a couple of decades back.
