Yeah they were big back then and they're still fairly well known in these parts. Lead singer Shirley Strachan died in 2001 in a Helicopter crash. He used to host a DIY show called "Our House".

Some of their songs are even now played on the radio.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry ... God bless his soul ... but a DIY show?!

The ultimate "sing-a-long" band

Time to catch up......

70's Band from Oz called Skyhooks. Remember the Iron Maiden track "Women in Uniform"? Well these guys wrote it and it was on the album "Guilty until proven insane". I think there are better tracks including "Trouble with the computer", but this is a good 'un.

Iron Maiden's cover is much, much, MUCH better, though.

Two new ones this evening:

Portishead - Third

Both bands were waaay overdue a new album

Am currently listening to "Don't stop Believing" by Journey
as recommended by Ant before ... a great song to listen to
with a glass of beer in your hand and the volume cranked up

Oh dear. Iron Maiden - most overated band in British history.

A friend and I once walked out of a Dream Theater gig at the Astoria because they decided to "treat" the crowd to a cover version of Iron Maiden album, Number of the Beast. It had been such a great gig up to that point ...

I take it you don't like the Irons.

I love their music, up to SSoaSS, that is.

DT and Iron Maiden are both good.

I agree with Ant, the earlier Iron Maiden albums are classic.
Up to Powerslave imo
