Temptation by Heaven 17. I love a lot of music from that period, but I hate everything about this. The crummy singing, the half-assed 'melody', the shite beyond words backing singing. In fact, have hated this record so much and for so long, that I have grown to become very fond of it. Still, Phil Oakey and his two 'lovely assistants' would have made a far better job! (BTW Human League played live on some morning telly show last week) I'd like to see a list of 45s that some quarters reckoned to be really good, but aren't (in our respective opinions!). I'd make an early stab and mention Tallulah Gosh by Tallulah Gosh? Always thought this it was incredibly limp. Naff 80's indie music of the worst order (this from someone who bought albums by McCarthy and the Close Lobsters!) And one record that was 'hip' in certain quarters which I HATE is Brilliant Mind by Furniture. I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
