Blue 1 comes along and embarrasses us all.

Shocked they haven't been mentioned.

Early 80's - The Bunnymen - without a shadow!

Mid- Eighties - I kinda lost interest

Late-80's - The Real People - this band had it all (Fuk knows what went wrong!!)

U2 is Irish
Talking Heads are American and defo a 70's band. Rules are they have to be British, and released their first full length record in 1980 -1989.

See, I always thought of them as an Irish band actually. But we get into the same gray area as we did with the Pogues.
