Hey Ideal are good! Sound like a German version of later Two-Tone stuff, somehow. Ta!

I can think of only one group I didn't admit to liking, although I even have them on vinyl:

(I hope the link works for people not living in my country, because thanks to Monky Entertainment it doesn't here.)

I don't think I've ever been ashamed about liking any kind of music, if you want to get technical about it.

Same here. I am out and proud so far as my love for "80s" bands is concerned. I saw Pet Shop Boys last year and it was the best gig I've been to in years. And I am looking forward to a new album this year from The Human League, who - in their 33rd year - have just signed to trendy indie label Wall Of Sound (label of Mogwai and Röyksopp, among others).

Is it a bad thing that I like the (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM3HO6cLF44) Grace Jones version of "Demolition Man" much more than the Police version?

ITT we link to 80s music we never admitted to liking in good company before.

Does that mean we "liked" it in BAD company?

In the spirit of the thread title:

My favorite Madonna song.

Maybe it means we liked Bad Company?

Well then, Paul Rodgers.

I liked him in Bad Company.
