SO COOL!| FIRST TIME HEARING Erasure - Love To Hate You REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

Been a huge fan of Erasure for decades. Andy Bell's voice is still magical after nearly 40 years together, and Vince Clarke's musicianship is top-notch. "Oh L'Amour", "Stop!", "Drama", "Chains of Love", "The Circus", "Breath of Life", "Blue Savannah Song", "Don't Say You Love Me"... the list goes on and on!

[@scottlincoln1735]

Me, too … since 1986 I think.

[@lyngusrobb5323]

Oh L'Amour!!!

[@gregoryburton5317]

The circus RULES!!

[@clarenceflam]

Their B-Sides and remixes are brilliant too. Tenderest Moments is a an amazing B-Side. They have an extensive catalogue of music.

[@The-Borg]

Started following them after knowing Vince Clarke was a member of Depeche Mode in very early 80’s.

[@frankvigliarolo9800]

Seen Erasure in concert several times. My favorite songs are: 1. A Little Respect 2. Chains of Love 3. Oh! L’amour 4. Blue Savannah 5. Victim of Love

[@bethmiller1840]

Yall should check out "Chains of Love!"

[@david0712]

Solsbury Hill (cover) Voulez-Vous (cover)

[@NetVoyer]

A Little Respect is their signature song in my opinion.

[@Kim-dm4yb]

A Little Respect and Chains of Love are absolutely the best! Also love the others you listed.

[@Spiderific]

Blue Savannah is one of my all time favorites

[@mamatay7]

Omg, love Erasure!!! If I had a time machine, I'd grab you two and we'd going dancing in my favorite club back in the day!!! 🤩🕺💃 Chains of Love is another great one to check out!

[@Pinkbubble702]

Me too! I was there back in the day xxx❤

[@e.s.9080]

The guy can SING...! One of the best to come out of 80's new wave, dance genre and synth pop. Not to forget, one of the best kiss-off love songs ever. harkening back to those 1960's girl groups singing about lost loves and broken hearts. The only difference here is that this song doesn't take the role of the traditional victim of love, but more as the victor of his love affairs. Leaving them in tears. 👍👍

[@Shrykespeare]

Kinda funny they also had a song called "VIctim of Love".

[@e.s.9080]

@@Shrykespeare Yes! I remember it....ah, so good 😎

[@nealmcdermott6670]

Love Erasure, Andy Bell and Vince Clark. Vince was a founding member of Depeche Mode, and then went on to form Yazoo with Alison Moyet, before forming Erasure. Check out Sometimes and the Abbaesque EP, where they covered some ABBA tracks. They were great live too.

Yaz in the States

[@AndreDMalan1966]

This band was HUGE in the 90s. Vince Clarke, the keyboardist, was an original member of Depeche Mode, them wrnt on to form Yazoo. He and Andy Bell, the singer here, have MANY hits as Erasure.

[@Kim-dm4yb]

I never even heard this song from them and I grew up in the 80s??? Wow! I loved their other songs...forgot what song Jay listened to and didn't like it..."A Little Respec" is so so much better than this song IMO.

[@reneeroxanneabeln2202]

LOVE Erasure! I don't think they get the love they deserve, cause they're so pop-y and disco-y and their British sense of humor - they are so fun - and incredible musicians!!

[@ThomasPalmen]

Vince Clarke simply is a genius.

[@jco207]

After seeing this, I'm convinced Erasure is a band I need to listen to more.

[@dopiaza2006]

You are correct!

[@italoblu]

Did you do it!

[@thefredricksons8150]

Yay! So happy Jay liked this one! As many others have said below, Chains of Love is a great song and would be a solid next choice. Also, their cover of Abba's Take a Chance on Me is pure 80's pop perfection.

[@deborahpaley21]

And their copy of Gimme Gimme Gimme!

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

One of my favorite bands when I was in college. This song came out in 1991, the year I graduated from college.

[@juliaallen2018]

I love Erasure sooo much, seen them in concert and they are amazing 🤩 this is my fave Erasure song ❤️ Andy Bells voice is phenomenal, and live he’s even better ! I dare anyone not to get up and dance to this

[@CraigPaulWilson]

What an awesome Erasure pick!

[@bryanCJC2105]

I love Erasure and I Love this song! His voice is legend! They're still making music. This song would come on and I was ON that dance floor! I would dance with friends, lovers, strangers, anybody or by myself.

[@chaatman5754]

The joy in your faces, sums up the joy Erasure has given me over the last 30+ years

[@robertorojasbalarezo]

my fave erasure´s song is Drama, it is quite the banger and so cool, breathe of life is up there too

[@robj474]

Drama is amazing!

[@esclad]

I've had the privilege of seeing Erasure live in a small venue and they're just as good live. This song takes me straight back to 1991, being 16 years old but looking 18 and having a pint a bar/pub for one of my first times- It was on the jukebox & always seemed to playing whenever I went back :))

[@dottzie33]

Ahh me to fresh out of school ready to take on the world with a glass of taboo in hand 😂

[@tcarnold6425]

A wealth of Erasure songs await - I'm so excited for you guys! Vince Clarke was the master of the 80s synth and then Andy Bell...an awesome vocalist and unashamedly out - much respect for him doing that in an era that would not have made it easy.

[@bmiamiwai]

Erasure are great live , seen them 4 times , huge dance party.

[@astleygenetaylor7463]

Hey you guys!! Fun fact Vince Clarke who plays keyboard is also the same guy who played keyboard for Yazoo who sang with the amazing Alison Moyet, she’s an amazing vocalist, maybe a female Friday reaction Amber? Possibly love resurrection or all cried out X

[@emme4296]

Yes. Please check out Alison Moyet.

[@italoblu]

Songs by Erasure: Chorus, Drama, Blue Savannah, You Surround Me, Stop, Oh L’amour, Sometimes. They’re genius.

[@kathyjam2482]

Yeah I love Erasure I saw them in concert a couple of times, so much fun.

[@MareTranquillitatis]

I've been an Erasure fan since 1985. One of my top 5 bands of all time. The keyboardist (Vince Clarke), also founded Depeche Mode and Yaz (or Yazoo as they were known in the UK). Brilliant band...brilliant music. Their concerts are awesome too.

[@emmagibbon5896]

I love the nod to "I will survive" on the keyboard section--it's perfect thematically

[@helindove2237]

For Female Friday, J&A should definitely check out Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." 🙂

[@maryannprzybycien2013]

"A Little Respect" and "Chains of Love" are a must! ❤️😁

[@kathleendemartini7977]

Erasure has a catalog . When you see them live , you just fall in love with them. They are still producing music. Videos sometimes takes away from their music. Songs I recommend. Always- Its Doesn’t have to be like that- Chains of Love- Drama- Blue Savannah -Stars-Sometimes-Heavenly Action- Who needs love like that- You Surround Me. All great songs. They have much more too.

[@bizdickson6561]

One of my favorite songs from Erasure. Big Fan

[@januzzell8631]

Had to look it up but I also LOVE the fact that Vince sampled and reimagined part of I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor - SUCH a clever twist on the love to hate you vibe :)

[@tangerine825]

Erasure - Great Synthpop Duo From UK ! Greets From Poland ;-)

[@emilywilhite5807]

I’ll put in another vote for Chains of Love as the next Erasure song. I’ve been listening to them since I was in high school. Saw them in concert twice. And not enough people talk about Andy Bell’s amazing voice.

[@comicdave1962]

Thanks for reacting to Erasure again. They are one of my favorite groups. Saw them in concert back in the late 90s. A couple of my favorites from them are Don't Say Your Love is Killing Me and Always.

[@kelliekretzmer4998]

Always is fabulous!

[@kimcutts6153]

One of the top bands to come out of the 80s & 90s. I was bummed that you wasn't sold on their last song. I hope you like this one. 💗 🇬🇧🎶🎼

ERASURE has a huge Volume of great Songs to explore. Keep going down that Rabbit hole!

[@daniellobo1680]

Erasure is one of the greatest bands ever

[@philipb2378]

This is one of their best songs ever! Remember that Vince Clarke was in Depeche Mode on their first album "Speak and Spell." One of the BEST songs EVERY by Vince Clarke was "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depecheche Mode! When y'all react to that one, keep in mind that it was released in 1979 and it still packs the dancefloor EVERY TIME! I've played it as a DJ in country dance clubs, rock clubs and almost any kind of club you could imagine for 35 years! Check it out. It really stands the test of time!

[@scottvanhille5688]

"A Little Respect" and "Chains Of Love" are my favorites from this band. Other songs: "Always" "Sometimes" "Take A Chance On Me" (their rendition of ABBA's song), "Chorus" "Ship Of Fools" "Lay All Of Your Love On Me" "It Doesn't Have To Be" "Star" "You Surround Me" "Breathe" "Run To The Sun" Patreon Movie Request: Tron (1982) with Jeff Bridges and Babylon 5's Bruce Boxleitner.

My favourite lyric in any song ever is in this absolute banging tune. "I like to read a murder mystery." "I like to know the killer isn't me." Amuses me hugely.

[@mariflame1821]

Surprise I didn't know this Erasure song. "Chains of Love" is probably their biggest hit. I love their early days song "Oh L'Amour" . "Who needs Love like that" also good. I saw them in concert opening for Duran Duran back in 87.

[@ThePadawancollector]

I saw that tour also, 2 of my favorite bands! My fave Erasure song is "Drama"

[@nigelgill2047]

My favourite Erasure song. Always takes me back to the 1990s when I went clubbing. You can't beat Andy Bell and Vince Clarke stage presence.

[@lmdashley6725]

Chains of Love is the one I know and love! ❤

[@teethang1]

This song as well as "Chorus" and "Oh L'Amour", both also by Erasure, takes me back to dancing at Clutch Cargos in Pontiac Michigan, the summer of 1996, on a packed dance floor, the lights flashing, and confetti falling from the ceiling.

What a memorable track. Nothin like Erasure for good old nostalgic up-tempo fun!

[@rickhawk22]

Chains of Love is a must listen! Stop! Is also a dance club banger Jay would like!

[@bridgemanjr]

And the best part is Vincent Clarke does ALL THE MUSIC HIMSELF...he was first in Depeche Mode for the 1st album, then left and formed Yaz/Yazoo

[@peachteatina]

CHAINS OF LOVE is the one you HAVE to do next from Erasure! 😁

[@johncampbell756]

Vince Clarke knows what he's doing. He co-founded Depeche Mode (main writer of debut album only) , co-found Yaz (Yazoo) and then Erasure. All three are somehow unique, yet bear his stamp.

[@jay-bt2lu]

amber would love to go down this rabbit hole. her face can't stop smiling. i know jay loves the keyboards and this band gives you a lot of that. 'chains of love','stop','sometimes',.....god theres soooo many good tunes. similarities between erasure and yaz....the keyboardist was in both bands.

Vince Clarke musical genuis. Founding member of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and here with Erasure.

[@GuillermoQuezada]

The guy in the keyboard is Vince Klarke, he started Depeche Mode, Yazoo and The Assembly before Erasure. He is one of the most talented artist in the last 40 years. I have been a heugh fan of Erasure since 1986.

[@mattpotter8725]

You should check out their songs Blue Savannah, Sometimes, and Oh L'Amour (can't remember what you reached to before, was it Stop or A Little Respect? Those too if you haven't already). Vince Clark is a synth genius and Andy Bell, the last singer, perfectly compliments him to provide a perfect combination.

One of the catchiest songs and one of the Coolest Videos Ever

Saw them live around '92. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Cake and champagne in the lobby during intermission. The whole nine yards. Must listen to A Little Respect. Very eighties, but still great to listen to.

[@coachtomas]

When I think UK synth pop, as well as bands like Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys... I think Erasure. Really they have consistently made great synth pop. They also (I feel) are very disco and very Abba at times. Which is to say - simple catchy pop songs. They have a huge run of songs to delve into if you like this one. @shrykespeare has listed the finest. Last note - I think its a refreshing change to listen to this kind of stuff, something a big lighter and dance-y.

[@deborahpaley21]

I'm so glad you're getting ready to dive down the rabbit hole. Seen in person, brilliant live, soooo many crackin' tunes!!!!! If you ever have a chance to see them do, people bring their kids!!!

You have to watch their Abba-esque ep [extended play] which had the following Abba songs on it: "Lay all your love on me"; "SOS"; "Take a chance on me" and Voulez-vous". The video to "Take a chance on me" was so convincing [they played all 4 members of the band in a similar scene]. A must watch! I was in France when it came out and couldn't believe what I was watching! lol

You are now going down a Vince Clarke rabbit hole founding member of Depeche mode before leaving and looking for good singers for his future tracks, he found the amazing Alison Moyet (ALF) to make YAZOO and then Andy Bell to form ERASURE. Another collaboration was with FERGAL SHARKEY who had fronted the Punk band The Undertones and released a song called Never Never as THE ASSEMBLY.

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Erasure are so so good 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@barriehull7076]

A music video was made to accompany the song. It features Erasure performing the song on a futuristic stage with a long, connected runway which extends out into the audience. As Bell dances down the runway, it is revealed that the floor is covered in water. Vince Clarke is also seen playing a circular keyboard similar to one previously used by Jean-Michel Jarre. These shots were filmed in London's Leadenhall Market. The synthesizer melody in the chorus is an interpolation of the string break from American singer Gloria Gaynor's disco-era classic "I Will Survive". Wikipedia does confirm as such.

[@jasonsmart3482]

Leadenhall Market was also used in the Harry Potter films as part of Diagon Alley, It really is a great place to browse and do a little shopping.

The little hook melody in this is lifted from the Rocky theme (or Donna Summer's lifting of that).
