The Americans absolutely adored them.<br /><br />I'm surprised a little that Love On Your Side was "never" your "favourite", as I've always imagined it to have started as a really classy piano song of frustration with a proper hook and melody, that only then got sanitised by the production demands of the time. I hate Doctor, Doctor though. Always have done. I never play it or listen to it.Matthew Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842392964784000029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-29025787652495236092012-04-26T08:56:37.616-07:002012-04-26T08:56:37.616-07:00Hee hee.

I, too, loathed We Are Detective.

It's completely different from anything that came afterwards - very self-consciously arty, and not remotely commercial. They were terribly serious. The single 'In The Name of Love' became massive in the New Romantic clubs and of course when they changed tack and became hugely successful, we all had a good old sneer ( ie, we were jealous.). <br /><br />I can forgive them a few of their subsequent singles (which is very gracious of me, I'm sure), but can never forgive We Are Detective, which to this day will give me an instant nosebleed if I hear it.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.com
