Well, they always say that they opposite of 'Like' isn't 'Hate' but rather 'Disdain'...so at least I don't hold them in utter disdain. Sorry Monkey :-(

I like a handful of Men at Work songs and don't care much for Men Without Hats. I know people get nostalgic about "Saftey Dance", but does anyone really like this song? And then you have their song "Pop Goes The World", I guess the word "cute" comes to m

Now they're all Men Without Work

Men At Work were a classic early 80's band with lots of great songs
Men Without Hats = One Hit Wonder IMHO

It's strange. Back in the day I was more a fan of Men At Work than Men Without Hats. Now I feel the opposite. I think it's mainly cause Men At Work got so much more airplay and got worn out. Men Without Hats is still fresh and fun, though I can do wit

Two marginal songs by each...

Men at Work... Be Good Johnny

Men without Hats... Antarctica

Oh come on, they are both better than that!

my fav cuts:

Men At Work - Down Under, Johnny Be Good, High Wire, It's A Mistake, Overkill, Who Can It Be Now?

Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance, I Got The Message, I Like, Living In China, Messiahs

While I enjoyed both bands , I was never an avid fan of either. Iwas always fond of "Be Good Johnny" and "Down Under" by Men At Work--even though both songs were overplayed. My favorite by Men Without Hats? "Security"--not a song you see too often.

I've always felt Men without hats were underrated. Safety Dance aside they produced some great new wave tunes worth hearing. Men at work were imo an average rock band who made an above average album in "Cargo". The success (here in the UK at least) of Dow

When Men at Work's first album came out, I was in the 8th grade and it was like, WOW! I just was nuts about them, and of course MTV played the shit out of thier videos. My brother, who is 2 years older than me was always into Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Zeppeli

I was very much into Men At Work when they first came out (I was also in 8th grade). Their Oct. 83 show in Seattle was my 2nd concert i'd ever been to....they were awesome ! great sense of humor. i stuck with 'em on their 2nd album, altho i was more int

Just noticed Men at Work won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1982. Certainly warrants some respect, no?

Men at Work:
Intelligent pop songs with great lyrics. They remind me a lot of The Police.
