I was just thinking about some of the groups I used to hear in the 1970's and 1980's. Groups like the Culture Club, Duran Duran, Bananarama and so on. One group, if you can call a duo a group, which used to set my teeth on edge were that couple of Scottish blokes who used to sing "100miles and a 100 miles" or some such rubbish. I just forget their names but they seemed to disappear and a good job too. Can you remember any of the other groups around that time?

I would walk 500 miles.............i like it

I thought the song sounded more like a dirge than anything tunefull. I can't for the life of me remember their name but since I wasn't all that fussed with them I don't suppose it matters.

I liked the other one that always made me think they went together but they never did........erm what was it called..............don't know now

The Proclaimers sang 500 Miles and they are still going, as are Duran Duran I think.

Of a similar vintage would be Ultravox, The Human League, OMD etc

Do you know the other song I am thinking off? actually I am thinking of two now

Roxette i loved and still do love roxette god i miss them, they were my favourite for years and years.

fun boy three
steel pulse
most of the ska groups
musical youth

Good Lord - it makes you wonder where they all went. We know where the Beatles went in the 1970's and I don't suppose many of you heard of Lonnie Donnegan and his skiffle group. Of course they were before the time I am thinking of. Strange how ones mind loses some things and can yet remember others.

was your old man a dustman who wore a dustman's hat ?
