1954: Stuart Goddard:
who, you may well ask????
Adam Ant....
Adam And The Ants had a string of top ten hits(and 2 UK #1 hits) in the early 1980s,
they were a bit of a rarity in the music world(pop world) as the band had two drummers at the same time, giving them
that heavy tribal drum beat sound that was distinctively theirs...
Adam Ant went on to have a reasonably good career as a solo singer in the 1980s and through the 1990s also...
I didn't know that no singles with the Ants made the US charts, but several of his solo singles did, strange indeed!
he has been plagued with depression and has spent time in psychiatric hospitals in the UK over the years...
he managed a top30 hit album a couple of years ago in the UK and is, from all accounts, due to release one early next year...
I was a big fan back in the day, I have three Ants albums, three of Adam's solo albums(all on vinyl and only one on cd), and
numerous 7" vinyl singles...
some of their singles still stand up today IMO.
their videos were always colourful and entertaining, much like Culture Club, and no one sounded like them, and still don't!
two spring to mind to post here, both are what I would call 1980s classics, i'll post one here
and one in the "track im listening to...)
