I love the Dickies version of the Moody Blues classic song "Nights In White Satin."

My favorite new wave song of the 80s but not necessarily a great video.

YouTube - New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

Had a big effect on me at the time.

YouTube - Shriekback - Nemesis

The Shriekback song was big with the hardcore waver types.

and of course, the klf

YouTube - The KLF - 3AM Eternal

Song was recorded in late 80s but became club hit in early 90s.

Yeah, I miss him too domergurl. The whole thing was truly tragic, especially Paula dying not long after and all the things that have gone on with his daughter, Tiger and Sir Bob since.

I remember there was this boy in High School I really liked and he had his own little caravan/flat out the back of his parents place (which made him totally cool at the time!

)and we used to throw The Swing into the cassette deck and loll about on his bed and listen (like thieves

) and maybe get a little mellow with herbal enhancement

and consider the universe.

We played it so often we killed the tape and had to get another copy.

I loved them from the beginning right through but they lost a little lustre and I lost a little interest in them after they hit the big time and started breaking into the US and Europe.

There's always been a song here or there off each album since. I loved their cover of The Loved One from Kick but The Swing, well that album always brings back great memories.

The Original, by The Loved Ones, complete with voiceover from 3AK!

YouTube - Loved Ones : 'The Loved One' - music video

And the INXS version:

YouTube - The Loved one Live 1984

Oh and I loved Never Tear Us Apart from Kick too.

Great filmclip too.

When they played this at his funeral well I just broke down.

Nice work Ohiogirl!!

I've never managed to win a radio comp! Takes skill!

I've always loved To Look At You, such an awesome song! The other one of theirs that I love but youtube doesn't have it

is Johnson's Aeroplane. Fantastic song!

Oh and to stay on topic, here's a great Kiwi/Aussie band that had a MASSIVE hit here back in the early 80s.

Phil Judd post Split Enz for him and Bones Hillman on bass PRE Midnight Oil.
