<What was ever wrong with It Bites....>
Could it be something to do with the fact that they released the most cheesy, pompous, ham-fisted and downright annoying single of the 80s with "Calling All The Heroes"? No offence intended Fitter, but to my ears even Robbie Williams has never relased anything that bad. Plus at least all those manufactured boy bands don't actually have the gall to take themselves seriously whilst making music which is no less corny than the chart pop they claim to despise?
For the record, I'm no kneejerk anti-prog rocker. I could listen to the Groundhogs, Man, Van Der Graff Generator or early Soft Machine any time. Even had a sneaking fondness for the Cardiacs once. But It Bites? C'mon....
