spongebob toonpants 5193 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Famously they didn't make a penny off Tainted Love as both songs were cover versions, despite it being the 11th biggest selling single of the decade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, me too, and also Newman and all the synth wankers. Although I have mellowed towards Newman in my old age.

A bit like Ami Stewart with Knock on Wood they took a Soul classic, or classics in this case, and put a whole different spin on them. Good one for when you’re DJing and need to go for a pint / piss / spliff too. Or so I’ve heard Edited October 23 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 50735 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Since I can’t stand Marilyn fucking Manson, I’m still ok thinking Soft Cell were shite, aye? Gary Numan can also fuck off, musically, although I’ve heard he’s meant to be a decent sort. Anyway, RIP to the dead lad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43931 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I couldn't stand tainted love tbh but do like a lot of Vince Clarke's stuff with his bands so it's obviously nothing to do with the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
