Welcome to the Pleasure Dome
Relax
Two Tribes
The Power of Love
As far as pop songs go they are just mentally good. FGTH created such an original sound.
One of the gayest bands around but it is suprising how many straight blokes like them and don't mind saying they like them. But I bet the same would wince at telling someone they like the Communards or Erasure.
FGTH are the gay band for straight blokes.

I saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in March 1985.
Blimey, that was a night.

Relax does not come close to being as revolutionary as the Sam and Dave song Hold on I'm coming.
They were OK nothing that great.

FGTH, well their music, was one of the most important movements of the 80s.
The sound was unique and fucking awesome.
I hate the song, but their version of Ferry Cross the Mersey was pretty good too.
Their album is still amazing now.

A pioneering group. Gary Numan waz the catalyst for Synth pop, but they took it into a completely different direction with astonishing results.

I remember them, having simultaneous no.1 and 2 in the same week.
Never really my cup of tea, but we're at the forefront of homosexual artists back in the eighties.

Loved this. Gary Moore all over it.
Probably my favourite guitarist of all time.
