best band of the 80s consisted of....
Tony James, Martin Degville, Neal X, Ray Mayhew, Chris Kavanagh and Yana YaYa

Still remember their names, and can recite all the song lyrics too!

nobody thought you were.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik were a landmark band in British music history
...they were the first band EVER who were fashionable for less time than it took to play one of their records.

I remember... ~~~~~ wavy lines ~~~~~
Jools Holland and Paula Wilcox, at the end of The Tube, telling us eager popsters that next week we would be treated to an amazing thing: the brand new, hottest band in the world! The most exciting thing to happen to music since Ugg banged two rocks together! A band that would make all previous bands irrelevant!

How we waited with bated breath; seven days had never seemed to drag so slowly. How we crammed around the TV the next Friday, sweaty with anticipation. How we laughed at the look of pure horror on Jools' face as SSS launched into their "song", and he realised just how hard he'd been stitched up! How we chuckled as the press and public alike disappeared over the horizon, leaving tumbleweed to blow across the studio floor, even as the last synthesized chords died away.

Happy days.
