Oh yes I used to adore them
I actually liked the first Labour of Love. I thought it a fitting homage.

Shortly after they recorded it, The Face did an interview with Robin and Ali and Robin said that "We do not and will not ever write love songs. That is not what we are about. This album is a one off, a homage".

They went on to do Rat in The Kitchen and Geffery Morgan which imho were good.

When they did that awful song with Chrissie Hynde I forgave them that one discretion but feck, they were consistently awful after that.

The fact that they were once brilliant and are now so utterly diabolical makes it even worse.

Shame on them.

Edit: Ooh I am going to have fun with this QOTW. My spleen is going to be well and truly vented!
