Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy...
Oh go on let's have Oh Superman again.
My sister used to have the Travelogue album by the Human League when I lived at home in the late 70's/early 80's and I always loved 'Being Boiled'. Just listened to it again, turns out I still do!
I was a big Numan fan too and Down in the Park was my favourite track, really creepy.
As any Numan fan will know he pretty much ripped off John Foxx's sound. Poor old John Foxx had the misfortune to not only have his only hit [i]after [/i]Numan got to number one with 'Are Friends Electric' and everyone assume he had copied Numan but also for 'Underpass' to be called 'Underpants' by us schoolkids
