  • Favourite song ever...

    ...so my avatar has been up for quite a while now.

    Anyone know what 12" extended mix this record cover is?

    After much internal deliberation it is my favourite song of my whole life. Seriously.

    Hint: Early 80's.

      The band that did this song evolved out of the death of the leader of it's predecessor band.

        Arg! I don't 'know' it. You're gonna make me work for it, aren't you? Where's somebody smarter than me when I need them??? *snicker*

          It was actually a suicide. And the song itself is, well not a tribute, but a response to his death.

          It can very well be argued that this song was the groundbreaker in electrobeat/blitz music.

          It still is, I believe, the best-selling 12" dance single of all time.

          Googling is allowed.

            Death... predecessor ... there's a lotta dying going on there.

            Your favourite is a lonnnnnnnnnnng tune, amigo. (hint: that could be a hint)

            Shall I divulge, or allow the guessing to continue?

            I would have trouble choosing just one for myself, but Boston's Long Time would probably be it.

            Cheers!

                      Yes, or, rather, not the cover - n'est ce pas?

                      Blue Monday, by New Order.

                      And I shall be honoured to take you up on the golf offer.

                      I was going to post the "decryption key" to see if it helped

                      Cheers!

                          P.S. I only knew it because an old friend of mine is TOTALLY into the British music scene. He even wears Mod suits to squadron parties. He stoppped short of buying a mult-mirrored moped, though. I saw the album at his place ages ago.

                          Cheers!

                              YES GUY!!

                              Blink you were so close.

                              Round of golf on me Gary.

                              And that closes out yet another ridiculous time-waster here on OD.
