That Tubeway Army album is still a classic though. I remember getting very excited when it was released late 1979. Probably the last time I had that feeling about any music.
I remember seeing Gary Numan at the Leicester air show where he was flying his own vintage plane. My favourite song of his is "Cars".
 
I've always been a big fan of The Human League but I feel the same way as you do about New Order. Smile

Ultravox is in my top 10 bands of all time, and no matter who sings lead vocals be it Foxx or Ure

I could hardly let Christmas Day go by without a new blog, so here it is - SYNTH BRITANNIA - celebrating the electronic eighties when Synth-Pop swept like a New Wave across the British music scene. It's an MTV  world of polyphonic synthesisers, digital drum machines, catchy dance beats, and the rise of the New Romantic movement, which was characterised by flamboyant, eccentric fashion and garish lipstick and mascara - and that was just the men. Smile
