The Chameleons

@alyskb23 I am happy to hear that...I applaud you for it....and I hope your taste in real music like this excludes you from enjoying gold teeth niggers sreaming about raping or shooting something......being black does not mean you are a nigger anymore than me being white makes me a nazi....I am sure we could probably be friends if given the opportunity....My point is that here in America our youth are being poisoned by so called hip hop bullshit that is called music

As for the stranglers, recall Hugh Cornwell stopped in the middle of a set and told some geezer to 'stop spitting - we're not the sex pistols'. In another show, he stopped again, walked to the back and told some geezer not to be taking falsh photos. I think Hugh was just tired. Though I saw them 3 times, the Stranglers were pretty average. Wish I'd seen the Cameleons instead LOL. Sadly, never did.

Forgot to mention Happy Mondays and saw them on your list too. Saw them in Toronto too about the same year as Shriekback, as I recall. Outside my British sphere of influence, not too many North Americans liked all this music. Many people were still listening to Led Zep and Ozzy Osbourne FFS. Nothing wrong with that, just water under the bridge for me. Good on ye mate! :)

@nubiwan I have similar tastes. I would have loved to see The Stranglers. A lot of the stuff I've listened to over the years is on my Favorites list. I mostly listen to XM/Sirius radio these days.

Bondy - went to your video page and can't believe you like the Chameleons too. Another of my 80's favourites - Swamp Thing - still give it a blast today. How d'you feel about Sisters of Mercy, Simple Minds, Buzzcocks, Jam (saw them 3 times), Stranglers (3 times), UB40, Specials, Siouxsie, James... Just about anythiong 80's indie and British was listened to in our house. These days, listening to Moby, Pat Metheny, some Oakenfold mixes, Couple of other indie songs I came across.
