Year 1:

 

Rubbish boring group. They had a track in yesterday. Title of a film

 

 

Year 2:

 

Jock band, fronted by a bird. Song title is the same as a track on Violator.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Year 1: 1985 - Duran Duran - A View To A Kill

 

Year 2: 1997 - Garbage, maybe??

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Texas! Halo!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Okay. So.

 

Year 1 - 1985

Duran Duran - A View To A Kill

Simple Minds - Alive And Kicking

plus something that sounds like Street Hawk which is up Thornsy's street

 

Year 2 - 1997

No Doubt - Don't Speak

Texas - Halo

plus a taff band that sing about Leigh Page taking photos

[gertcha EFM]

Correct.

Mate, these are way too obscure!

A taff band from 1997... Manics? Catatonia? Super Furries?

Year 1: Unessential band... Simple Minds? Alive And Kicking? Jim Kerr... ahh!!! Patsy Kensit connection!!

Taff band. None of those mentioned - Think of what Leigh does and what you would be if in one.

Simple Minds is right, but their other 'big hit'

I'll make the next two easier:

Year 1: Went on to do a Duet with a Spice Girl and involves moving quickly towards someone.

Year 2: FAT GAY BOY. What Thornsy aint.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

This is much more fun today, mate!

 

Struggling with Street Hawk and Leigh Page at the moment!

The Boss

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Year 1: Bryan Adams - Run To You

 

Year 2: Robbie Williams - Angels

[gertcha EFM]

This is much more fun today, mate!

 

 

 

It's keeping me busy thinking up the clues. I hope I don't get my wires crossed on some them. Apologies if I do.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Springsteen - Born In The USA??

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me??

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Which just leaves the Taffs... (unless I have Springsteen's one wrong)

 

Errr... not Manics. Not Catatonia. Not SFA.

 

Hmmm...

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Ahhhh!!

 

Stereophonics - Boy In The Photograph.

[gertcha EFM]

Quote:

Year 1: Bryan Adams - Run To You

Year 2: Robbie Williams - Angels

Both correct. Too easy though.

Final two:

Year 1:

Sadly no longer with us. lyrics include "I don't want to change the world.........."

Year 2:

From Wigan, think Thornsy (again)

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Kirsty MacColl - A New England

 

Verve - Drugs Don't Work

[gertcha EFM]

Well done, Sterophonics, Local Boy in the Photograph. and Simple Minds, Don't You Forget about Me was also right.

 

It is Bruce Springsteen, but a different song.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Right up Thornsy's street?

 

Only Springsteen hits I can think of from '85 are Born In The USA, Cover Me and Glory Days.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I did get them as well, but I obviously got up after Zeal

[gertcha EFM]

Dancing in the Dark.

 

The Thornsy's street was to help you get the artist. Wasn't his band the E Street Band ?
