Wings of Love predates their first Album, one of the best things Level 42 has ever done.


eta: typo - changed as to has.

No but I would say Gary Glitter/The Glitter Band if the word 'decent' hadn't been used in the thread title (is there a LESS fashionable band anywhere?)... though 50 million American sports fans can't be wrong surely?

Sparks were always 'in' in a weird kind of way - who didn't have a copy of Kimono My House?


Camel probably belong in a sub-group with Wishbone Ash.


What about Nazareth? Never really fashionable except in 'Not quite Deep Purple but-' circles but some good songs.

Yeah I second The Rubettes ( & honest they were nearly my first choice)


I saw them in Liege in 1975


Did you know their 'blue hat' look was based on Gene Vincent

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
    • Same reason there are several pizza places and Indian restaurants?
