ABC were magnificent. Perfect pop music. There's no way they weren't cool - haven'y you seen Martin Fry's gold suit? :)

I love the music of Destiny's Child too. And Beyonce.

Simply Red. I outed myself as a fan in the car back from the Huddersfield game when we passed the exit to Hucknall. Cue lots of derision......

We're your passengers taking the Mick?

Most of them :) I'm not sure about Floyd but They Might Be Giants, Pet Shop Boys, XTC, Genesis, Squeeze, The Weddoes, list goes on. Then there's my extreme fondness for J-pop and J-rock. And videogames OSTs :)

Though I suppose it depends who you're asking if they're cool.

Duran Duran's Rio album still holds up well now.

Away from all the boy band hype at the time, it was really good music from the usual instruments to the unusual.
(Simon playing the ocarina at the end of 'The Chauffeur').

John Taylor's bass playing has always been highly underrated.

And the sax solos in the middle and at the end from 5:00 sound great.

Here's another couple that I grew up on thanks to my parents' record collection.

Judith Durham, The Seekers. Such a pure voice that could cut glass. Loveliness personified.


Jay Siegel, The Tokens. What a range. What harmonies.
