ULTRAVOX FOR ME!!
Their 'Vienna' song is top class British pop-rock at its artiest, combining electronic techno-pop, new romantics and sheer symphonic prog in a very fluid manner. Their "Rage in Eden" album is their absolute peak, and the peak of British pop of all time.
Kins regards.

I LOVE Frankie Goes to Hollywood! Incidentally, Steve Howe collaborated with them too - on YouTube you can find a video of them performing "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (my favourite song by the band), with Steve on steel guitar. |

I had the priviledge of seeing Glenn Tilbrook play a small acoustic gig a while back (the gig was small, the acoustic was normal size). He played an amazingly varied set which included Squeeze classics and covers like Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well. And when he played Genitalia of a Fool I nearly wet myself!

If anyone has a chance to pick up Glen Tilbrook's (Squeeze) The Incomplete Glen Tilbrook and Transatlantic Ping Pong, I highly urge you to do so. Absolutely spectacular discs, and "Genitalia Of A Fool" will have you gasping for air from laughter.

I heard The Flying Lizards singer described as sounding like a kidnap victim being forced to make a ransom video.
Have you heard The (Hypothetical) Prophets? Their Person To Person single is a favourite of mine.

An early incarnation of Huey Lewis & the News (called Clover) was the backing band on Elvis Costello's first album.

I can't decide. There are too many that I love! Just last night we were listening to the Cars Candy-o while putting up the christmas tree. I hadn't played their album in years and I forgot how much I like them.
I also love Devo, Gary Numan, U2, Talk Talk, Ultravox, Simple Minds, Missing Persons, Joe Jackson -well, I love all of them. (Teenager in the 80's so forgive me). Ah - I'll go with the police. Love new wave (but not as much as Prog - but it's close!)

A lot of good ones, but had to go with U2. Love Simple Minds, The Police, Tears For Fears and Squeeze though.
