They were both garbage
Every SB song sounded exactly the same except
to cut a long story short & true IMHO
We used to call DD durex durex in OZ....use & toss away music
If I recall correctly they were riding the cresp of the wave that was MTV
When your look*weren't they all so pretty and well dressed) & video clip were more important than your music
The beginning of the end for me

Hadleys voice was SB...the music was so typical of the eighties.......contrived
Give me Hot house Flowers or Del Amitri anyday
Garbage is a popular name for a band
At least Madness had something to say
and every band has an image whether they like it or not

Oh no not another lets bash someone over the bonce for being shite night again.
I think Duran Duran are good. Spandau Ballet too maybe I'm going through an 80's retrospective.
I just think its unfair how people really trivialise others efforts as just "shit"
You dont like it fine but why Duran Duran? I can think of bands I dont like nearly as much because their image is too pretty boy ish and makes me feel uncomfortable with their pukey saccharine candy coated oads to love.
At least Duran Duran kept things sexy and made you feel cool. The girls quite like them too.
Besides i think Simon Le Bonn is a fucking cool dude.
Ordinary World is a fave tune of mine.

Heard very little of those 3....aztec camera 1 or 2 tunes but nothing thats stuck
Icehouse(formerly the flowers)was basically Iva davies...creative genious
Their debut album Icehouse under the bands former name is heir best to date.I pretty much stopped at that...too many artists too little time
The hit was most likely either hey little girl,we can get together or great southern land
