Yeah it is a shame it's over. Was a lot of fun.

Ah, but the thing about Spandau, Mike, was that they didn't have a 2-guitar line-up. I'm not sure that they regularly had keyboards either. Didn't they have a sax?
I was trying to think of a 5-piece band with two guitars in the line-up, and I was guessing that the singer was probably one of the guitarists. I couldn't actually think of very many bands fitting that criteria and who also had over 20 hit singles in the UK. Other than Squeeze the only other band I could think of was Super Furry Animals, but the date of 1978 was too early for them. |

I was playing 461 Ocean Boulevard last night and came up with another one:
' I shot the sheriff ' was number 1 in the States and number 9 in the UK, so it qualifies, did someone already mention it? |

| Nobody did and, to my mind, it's a qualifier. |

| fark, you know what... I shot the Sheriff was one the first songs I went and listened to at the start of this thread... I thought for sure it was a contender. Except I listened to Bobs, not Erics. |

A-ha! I've got one!
Nothing But Flowers by the Talking Heads.
At least the "newer" versions that David Byrne does....can't remember if the original came right in or not, but I think so!! |
