Ultravox! - the greatest band you've never head. and that's Foxx's vox, not the midge ure band that just happened to share the same name ;D

This song is the absolute template for soooo much of what happened in the '80s. Truly visionary.

This is what Bowie was trying to do from 1976-1978, but Ultravox did it better and with more heart and soul. The pity of it was nobody bought the records and that was the end of that! The influence was enormous, but all to late for this line up of the band. All three Foxx/Ultravox albums are very good and very influential, but they were not punks and they were too early to be new wave or new romantics. They ran out of money and had no success, without them the early 80's sounds very different!
I just wanna say that it is possible to like both incarnations of the group, and that you don't have to hate the Midge era to like the Foxx years and vice versa....some commenters here and elsewhere would beg to differ on that, but sod them. :)
