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

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

    • I would love something like this if you could get it to work financially. I still miss the market on Zenoria. I bought all sorts there; furniture, clothes, pictures… No oysters though. 
    • It was a weird place, and there never seemed to be many people in it. Stalls/selling areas (they  weren't really stalls as such) came and went. For a while there was an area upstairs as well. Around the beginning of ED  gentrification,  someone opened a champagne bar near the entrance. I think it also sold oysters, though there was another oyster place in the market, possibly not at the same time. Whether it did or not, unsurprisingly it didn't last long. I can't imagine they had done any market research, or even wondered why anybody would want to drink champagne in that kind of environment. I'm not sure an indoor market would work now, but what do I know. It would depend on what it sold and whether people wanted what it sold, I suppose. It wouldn't get much passing trade in Zenoria Street, so it would have to be very well advertised.
    • Guacamoles in Rye Lane market for pretty authentic Tacos  Ganapati on Holly Grove has some of the best south Indian  food in London - light, aromatic fresh, home style cooking - lovely location and people too. Forzawine is fun for a rooftop terrace, great view, cocktails and good small plates     
    • Someone to carve Dulwich posts.  Any recommendations?
