I'm very much with Gero's last line in the OP - everyone knows the big hits from Hunting High & Low and Scoundrel Days but their later albums have a stark beauty that wouldn't sound out of place on a Scott Walker release.

Minor Earth, Major Sky, Lifelines, Analogue... gorgeous.

Summer Moved On off the first of those albums is a great lost classic, if someone a bit cooler than them (in 2000) had released that song it'd still get radio airplay today.

The MTV unplugged they did is brilliant. A great example of still owning the song in an entirely different way.

[E10 Rifle]

I've Been Losing You is an absolute banger.

[Hot Pepsi]

The Living Daylights.

Good theme song, crap film.

It some good stunts, but Dalton wasn't great, was he? Expectations got progressively lower after Connery left until the Daniel Craig ones.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Have we done Morten Harket going on the Masked Singer, dressed as a Viking, singing "Take on Me", and NO-ONE GUESSING IT WAS HIM?!!!

[Jah Womble]

The Living Daylights.

Good theme song, crap film.

[Hot Pepsi]

Agreed. Great band. Both the early bangers and later more atmospheric stuff. I prefer the bangers, though.

This is a good breakdown of TOM.

And here is "Steamed Hams" mixed with "Take On Me." It's my favorite of the dozens of reimaginings of Steamed Hams.

I went to see them with an ex at the Manchester Arena. She was expecting a ‘school disco’ vibe from them but it was anything but. I loved it, she less so.

It's like Ken from Bros - must be horrible being the one no one fancies

[Nocturnal Submission]

People can never remember the third one's name.

Tragic.

Everything you ever thought about this bunch of bastards, is wrong.

Morten, Mags & Pal always seemed like pleasant chaps to me.

They were always musically interesting; however, they were marketed at teenage girls and it all got a bit lost in the frenzy.

[Gerontophile]

I specifically went to abar, earlier, jsut so I could hear the bassline to train of thought.

[Gerontophile]

Yep.

You do you.

Let's do the arithmetic.

You only know them for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914

That's ok, but it's an iceberg. Everything you ever thought about this bunch of bastards, is wrong.
