Thank you for this. OMD never quite get the proper credit for their huge influence.

One & Only Duran Duran ❤❤❤

Catchy background music! Could you tell me the name of this great piece of music?

I've always pronounced it "Dave" 🧡

Mick kern basslines are so amazing!

I love OMD and I've heard, I think, also all there music except that track at the end of your video, can you tell me which it is? And thanks for bringing back the beautiful 80's.

Very good indeed. Small point - Chris Allen initially changed his name to Chris St John, he became Chris Cross from the Vienna album onwards. Magnificent bass player, very much missed.

#1New wave The Best Of the 80's OMD

Best album since ULTRA

Fabulous band I had the great pleasure of seeing live at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1982 for the Quartet Tour and of course they were amazing! RIP Chris!

Enjoyed that and thanks for sharing. Have seen many times live and always excellent. Keep rocking guys .

i love DM but without Alan Wilder its not the same.. I miss him..

One of the best ever musicians, simply because he writes plays and sings! I like many genres of music, including traditional country, which is far from Gary's music. But even the old Bluegrass stars etc, never wrote all their own stuff, and the great rockers didn't either! Yes I think even if he had been about in the 1950's there would be many songs like 'flying saucers rock n roll'!

Bellissimi!

The greatest band there has ever been

Thanks for the great tribute

At end of 1980 I came from Kiel to Munich and after school took a look about the city and at Ostbahnhof area was a music shop and the windows full with the first album from Ultravox and bought it....Vienna catched me and the band... always wanted to be in Vienna...then November 1981 they was in Munich in the Schwabinger Braeu and I was there, at age of 15. Was wow and still wanted to be in Vienna....then work started and always when I wanted to go to was not able, something happened. Was second time in a concert when Monument came out. 1998 was one my first flight to Egypt and was overflowing Vienna, thought shit, want to be there....2003 to 2006 of work I was in Austria aaaaaaand worked in Vienna, sure I was in the city at the dome having my coffee and remember....now I live in Egypt and sure always listen to the songs from Ultravox. Started now 43 years ago...time is running, but when I hear songs still I am 15 ... hhhhhhh.... Greetings from Alexandria having my Shishah and listen to this music 😃😜😊

I find it odd you mention 1st album , but do not mention the single "let's all make a bomb" while a version of it is playing in the background ....odd

My favourite album has to be New Gold Dreams closely followed by Street Fighting Years, after Real Life I couldn't stand any more of their albums, with their album Black and White 050505 that was the come back for me, after Big Music they have fallen off the radar again

Have got all their albums along with Visage, the track Fade to Grey and Night Train are simply superb. Favourite Ultravox tracks are Lament and Visions in Blue, saw Midge Ure at Scarborough outdoor arena

Mick macneil and Derek Forbes were irreplaceable.

What's going on with bass players dropping dead?! The Smiths, Pulp, Ultravox...

your sub titles and commentary needs work it is Simon LE BON please he is the best ever xx

One of my favourite bands of all time, just a bundle of great songs and pure talent. Pioneers in many ways.

Great episode as always. Thankyou. I last saw Heaven 17 in November '23 at the University of East Anglia. It was a brilliant night out. They just get better and better. Martyn and Glenn are superb raconteurs and of course the music was out of this world. I'm seeing them again in a couple of weeks time at the Solihull Summer Festival. Favourite album "The Luxury Gap" and favourite single "I'm Your Money". All the best and good luck with your magnetically entertaining channel 🧡

I don't depend on you released in 1979 by The Men aka The Human League with Ware, Marsh, Oakey on vocals. It was a fore runner of the dance pop well produced sound, the later Human League would pursue after the split. I think both factions of the original band were disappointed with lack of success with experimental music. And pursued it separately at later times. BEF gave it one last whirl with the Music for stowaways cassette only album in 1981. Sony Stowaway was the original name for the Sony Walkman

Always admired billy curry's work,seriously underestimated,foxx is a prolific songwriter,his solo work is as good if not better than when he was fronting ultravox.

Hello One of the best from Glasgow.

RIP Chris

"Vienna" outsold Dolce and was number one in Ireland anyway! So there

I first joined the ranks of Tubeway Army back in '79 Then I became a Numanoid in the later part of '79 and except a brief period after Outland Then machine and soul was released 😱 Thankfully Gary found his mojo again (Thanks Gemma)

I learned about the band through Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon doing a special evening show where they played Visions of China in the early '80s, and mentioned some or all of the band members. I was so taken by the one song i bought the album. 40 years later I'm still a fan, but find myself digging deeper. Mick Karn's bass playing has become a particular interest and my heart breaks at his passing.

I'm so glad I was able to see them in the US. Still listen to both UV & John Foxx to this day.

In 1999 I was lucky enough to have been invited onto the bus with John Foxx for his ten date UK "Subterranean Tour". Particularly at the Glasgow Barrowlands, Manchester Apollo and Shepherds Bush Empire, the atmosphere was more akin to being at a football match. He's loved. At the end of tour party John played some of his songs on a piano in the hotel lobby. A hugely talented and genuinely friendly gentleman. Thankyou for this episode. My favourite Ultravox! album is "Systems of Romance" 🧡

Such an underrated band

Believe it was Seymour Stein, head of Sire Records who coined the phrase " New Wave "

I think the Brillant album is the best Ultravox's album ever.

I can't remember why I bought Adolescent Sex, I think it might have been because I liked the cover plus the guy at the record shop said they were progressive and that the album had only be in the shops a few weeks. I was 18 years old at the time, and on that day, my life took a turn for the better. I was hooked and went on to buy anything Japan, or Japan related that I could get my hands on. I'm 65 next birthday and when my times comes and I disappear behind that curtain, with my relatives looking on, my family know I want it to be the the sound of Suburban Love. A Very comprehensive and to the point video.. Excellent!

They had a huge following in Toronto Canada second only to the country of Japan - 1978 onwards - Saw them Live twice in one night in Toronto in 1979 at The Ryerson College Theater

To say that they are legends of synth-pop may mislead viewers who dont know them. They are much more musically as songwriters, and proper guitar and bass players, too.

I think that a proper documentary about a band as great as Tears for Fears should include their music.

I have always loved the guitar playing of Charlie Burchill 😍 This band is amazing 🤩❤

Saw him two nights ago.. Best I have seen him !! Apart from Replicas tour

Duranie for life- I want a “Night Versions” concert for die hard fans- I don’t need Rio, give me extended Chauffer, I’ll take the dice…

Been a fan since the beginning ,,, still going strong !!!!

I've loved TFF since '82, along with bands such as Japan, Talk Talk and China Crisis to name but a few. Tears for Fears created beautiful compositional sounds that were unpretentious and simply irresistible. Great episode and thankyou for your channel 🧡

Excellent video by the way

I really dig the song he did with Paul McCartney & Mark Ronson produced. “I know time is calling”. I like his last 3 records, but the Ronson song is a new direction that Gary excelled in. At least with that song. Definitely curious for more with the same vibe. What do you all think?
