Sorry mention of Adam Ant in another thread has triggered this off.

 

Zerox - #45 (1981)

 

Cartrouble - #33 (1981)

 

Deutscher Girls - #13 (1982)

 

Desperate But Not Serious - #33 (1982)

 

God I used to love the Ants. Kings of the Wild Frontier and Dirk Wears White Sox are still two of my fav albums.

 

 

 

however have to say that Client doesnt look right placed in the pop area with all the Radio Disney mainstream stuff dont you think??

 

:lol:

 

More lost songs from the 1980s:

 

Duran Duran - Do You Believe In Shame? (1989 UK#30 - when was the last time you heard this song on the Radio or saw the video on a music channel? A great song even if it is "Suzie Q" in a Velvet Underground/Roxy Music dressing)

 

Adam Ant - Strip (1983 UK#41 - This track was produced by Phil Collins, but still sounds like the sort of music Marc Bolan would have been coming up with if he had not died in 1977)

 

Howard Jones - Everlasting Love (1989 UK#62 - Sadly by the end of the decade, the record buying public had moved on to rubbish like Rick Astley & Jason Donovan instead of superior pop music like this).

 

Nik Kershaw - Radio Musicola (1986 UK#43 - Like The Beatles & The Stones, Bowie & Bolan, Britney & Xtina, MC Hammer & Vanilla Ice, Debbie Gibson & Tiffany, etc..... one can't help think of Howard Jones without thinking of his rival Nik Kershaw. Sadly this song was just too clever for its own good to make the Top40 back in 1986 as the dumper beckoned..)

 

O.M.D - If You Leave (1986 UK#48 - Taken from the seminal 1980s John Hughes prom movie Pretty In Pink, how did this fantastic tune fail to be a huge hit in the UK? Although it made USA#4)

I would add Meet El Presidente and Skin Trade to the list of lost Duran tracks. Both were great songs.
