Nothing wrong with a bit of Boney M though surely? Bet if it came on in your local Kudu you'd be up dancing :lol:

Hey, the first two a-ha albums are really good! Particularly the second one, Scoundrel Days.

Yeah been listening to them since. Good band - nothing wrong with a bit of decent pop.

I guess they have alway found it hard to shake off their boy band image with the Take on me song, in this country anyway. You'd never hear them on 6 Music but they are decent pop band like you say and are very popular in some countries.

Been working my way through World Party's back catalogue recently. Absolutely feckin hated them (appreciate it's just one guy really out of the Waterboys) when they had a few hits in the early 90s but listening to them with old ears there's some decent song writing and arrangements going on. Amusingly, probably best know now for writing the song "She's The One" which Robbie Williams had a massive hit with.

Yeah that's one of the reasons I hated them. But then there's the odd album nugget like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO1cW97Z3sU
