Hi Doggo, yes lad it's time you were in bed. And on a school night too, tsk,tsk.
16: It is Mr Palmer, well done. Yes, I mentioned him in his short lived Power Station guise but I was aiming the question more at his one-man-band days. He really was a smoothie wasn't he and of course his vids launched him into the stratosphere (and got all the sandal wearing moaning minnies bleating on about his sexist attitude. Morons!)
2: Sorry mate. Must admit they were not exactly the biggest band in the world but I did buy (and still have!) those two singles by the band). Try again if you can.
(Now I've seen you've logged off so you'll get to see this tomorrow (or is that today?), anyway, have a good day yourself Doggo and see if a good night's sleep refreshes the old grey matter for another onslaught to this quiz.
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Good morning Dbo - ok mate, I'll give it you for brain grinding you've been going through. It was the British Electric Foundation who then morphed into Heaven 17. Glen Gregory, Ian Craig-Marsh and Martin Ware were the blokes of BEF and Heaven 17. Class act as well.
Dix points and have a great Friday mate.
