The Alarm or A Flock of Seagulls

No,not "who's your favorite" this time. Rather "who had wackier hair"? Can any other bands even come close? [:0]

BTW I'm stumbled onto the video for PIL - "Disappointed" on VH-1 Classics the other day. Cool. It was followed by The The - "This is the Day". Even cooler since it's one of my favorite song's and I had never seen the vid. It was followed by Jesus and Mary Chain - "Just Like Honey". What's going on? Did I die and go to video heaven? Pixies - "Here Comes Your Man" followed. Yes, apparently so.

But then it all came apart like a house of cards in a twister. Cher. Ugh. Bobby Brown. D'oh! "Love is a Battlefield" Ay Carumba! Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. [:)]

Depends on how you want to look at it. In AFOS there was only one member with "that hair", whereas in The Alarm they all had "that hair".

By numbers it has to be The Alarm.

For sheer audacity it has to go to Mike Score.

I probably had the Alarm and AFOS in mind due to their recent Bands Reunited appearances - for some of them, hair not *so* much of a problem anymore [;)].

But you're right hensoneno, the Cure and Love and Rockets ranked up near the top in the "Wacked

That always seems to happen on VH1 Classic, a great set of videos together in the middle of the 80's or pop show hours, then dreck. and Journey. Somebody at VH1 Classic loves journey far too much.

As for hair, no one can touch Mike Score.
