I really liked their recordings and have everything they did (I think.) They morphed into the Fine Young Cannibals, who also fell apart, as far as I know. Any of my English friends now if anything is happening with The English Beat again? Jerry |

I enjoyed them a lot, although I'm primarily a folkie. |

I've always loved rock, then rock and roll, then "independent" rock, soul music, rhythm and blues, jazz and older country music. If you checked my CD purchases, you'd have a hard time categorizing my music: Green Day, Fountains Of Wayne, Jimmy East World, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, The Stanley Brothers, the O'Kanes... Right now, I'm listening to Bob Mould.. one of the finest songwriters and guitarists I've ever heard. Gospel, too But not Christian music. Or opera. Or rap. I like Black Eyed Peas (the group,) and Love Below. Jerry |
