stevebrum 6,824 Posted January 5, 2017 How about the Thompson twins. A slightly less successful band of the 80's compared to some of the huge bands to come from that genre? I'll get my coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,342 Posted January 5, 2017 Into the Gap was a brilliant album And Quick Step and Side Kick, the 3 Twins were huge in the 80s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted January 5, 2017 And Quick Step and Side Kick, the 3 Twins were huge in the 80s. They are certainly no U2, Duran Duran, UB40, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Police, REM, Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode who are levels above with career longevity and still making music listened to by millions - which was my point. They were good, but not good enough to be considered world class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were good, but not good enough to be considered world class. Prince Madonna Wacko Jacko Springsteen Queen all far superior. Never heard of Iron Maiden, Metallica?

Far superior singers, not bands (depends if you include Bruce's E street). you seriously have never heard of them??
