S5E1 - New Romantics: Spandau Ballet (Overrated) & Japan (Underrated)
Manage episode 341216899 series 3268411
Put on some liquid eyeliner, find your sparkliest eyeshadow and bring out the hairspray - we're talking about some New Romantics legends!
Fran is a big fan of the era but thinks that behemoths Spandau Ballet only have a handful of good songs...Babs doesn't know much Spandau Ballet beyond the hits - so will she agree with Fran?
Babs is also properly introduced to the band Japan - they're not Alphaville of Big in Japan, we'll have you know! Fran loves the band but says he hasn't met anyone who likes Japan. Can he convert Babs into a David Sylvian appreciator - beyond his good looks?
For god's sake, go and look at David Sylvian's beautiful face.
