If you were not lucky enough to experience the 80’s I am sorry for you but truly it was a wonderful time to be young and alive and the music will never ever get old it’s still young and alive , and that is why the people who don’t know the 80’s call it the 19hatees bunch of hater’s.

[@phayzyre1052]

I cant speak for you folks in the UK but if there was any band that deserved to be called the most underrated band of the 1980's it was definitely Gene Loves Jezebel, at least that's how I feel here in the USA. These guys were awesome and why they didn't make a bigger impact over here is a mystery! I guess I can chalk it up to lack of airplay. I remember I was in Camelot music back in the summer of '86 and this song came on the PA and immediately caught my ear. I listened to about 2 more tracks from the album and was compelled to find out who this was. The girl behind the counter told me the name "Gene Loves Jezebel" and I immediately had to have the cassette. I have been a dedicated fan of this band ever since.

[@brizeeuk]

i bought this record when it was out back in 1986...its great I still have it … only herd it on the radio a few times then.... but I liked it the first hearing

[@rigoleum3273]

if they would've came out with this tune at the peak of the motley era, no doubt they would've went down in history. Still an amazing band in my opinion.

[@DJVIIIMan]

They got plenty of play in the clubs. Not so much on the radio...

[@brianstuk9149]

Very experimental era

[@BIGDADDYCANKOO]

I agree 💯. Being Hispanic I listen to music in both languages and it seems like in both a lot of attention was paid to music and sound. There’s so much going on sound wise that it’s easy to overlook the quality of vocals, guitar tone and rhythm cause it’s all happening at once. At least that’s how think of it. I’m a 90’s kid but after the fog of what was popular to us in our time faded the 80’s stuff really stood out.
