Seems like the above song (done by a number of 80s artists, including Talk Talk) is getting much air play now by No Doubt. Does anyone know why this song is getting rotated again? Thanks Tracy

Done by a number of artists?

I'm very indifferent about No Doubt; they don't GRATE on me but I don't pay them alot of attention. Every now and then they come out with a decent single.

I'm with 'bpdp3' regarding No Doubt -- indifferent, despite them being in the same age group as me and hailing from the same county that I live in. Their "It's My Life" cover seems a trifle uninspired and only makes me pine for the original. Can anyone co

I've always liked No Doubt. I thought their cover version was OK. Of course it just inspired me to dig out my vinyl of the Talk Talk It's My Life Album.

Funny how I don't like the No Doubt version either. But you know what's good, Sandra's version of "Such a Shame". I love her voice. She was popular with Freestyle/Disco-y music in the 80's I beleive. I just ran accross this by accident, and it is very
