OMD. Their early stuff sounds dated and their latter stuff is rather girly. I don't know who'd win a knife fight, Spandau Ballet or OMD..... we'll have to wait and see. [xx(][:D]

OMD. As long as they are still here, the choice couldn't be easier.

A Flock Of Seagulls MUST go down. After all, they're not fit to shine Elvis Costello's shoes much less make it this far. A terrible injustice has occured. The credibility of the NWO hangs in the balance. The skies have darkened. All hope is lost. Who will

HAHAHAHA! You guys had me all huffy and puffy for a minute. I had a whole friggin' paragraph scolding some of you for calling OMD "girly" and bashing them. Then I thought, whooooops! There I go again, taking something too seriously on the New Wave Outpost

I love OMD too. "Maid of Orleans" is so lovely. Didn't somebody on the boards use it for their wedding waltz?

I even love how Andy's voice cracks on "Joan of Arc."

And TFF had "sowing the seeds of love"
