The Motors - Forget About You

[@MrSilvinoregalado]

Love and loneliness is one of the greatest songs ever written. Brilliant. Thanks motors.

[@martinhogg1212]

Wow what a kick ass memory!! Jesus what a tune this is . Welcome to 2024 the motors ❤

[@Sivri_Therapy5882]

Anyone watch Grandstand in the UK?? This tune reminds me of the theme tune to that Saturday morning sports show 😅

Takes you back when you got paid on a Friday 1st shop was record shop to buy the latest hits, after seeing them on totp the night before. Happy carefree innocent days. !!

[@calvinhobbes62]

This song should have gone to #1 in America! It is a pop CLASSIC in my book. Everything about it is amazing! I'm proud to say I played the hell out of it on my radio show back in the day! Thank You for posting this!

[@dariowestern]

It was covered by Leif Garrett in America, and it's available on KZbin. :-)

[@craigsmith2755]

Never gets played on the radio. They'd rather play C-Rap.

[@antaog5961]

Got this as a Single up in a cardboard box in the attic somewhere along with Airport , and lots of other great songs from those days Probably, actually definitely,it's one of my favorites gathering dust in that box... but here I am still listening and loving it all those years later,great song,great memories...

[@deadstar44]

This should have been a worldwide hit. The pre-chorus and chorus are infectious. I love Bram Tchaikovsky's voice. Edit: Nick Garvey's voice.

They were short their time MUCH over looked this band this and airport are among my all time faves ever great energy band i have the vinyl still LOVE the motors.

[@davidsaunders7950]

God, I loved the Motors as a teenager. Andy and Nick were old school songwriters.

[@pedrovaradi]

I got the honour to meet this song because an Hispanic-Argentinian group called Tequila made a cover for one of their albums. I always though that the song was written by them, but I found out that it wasn’t like that and I really love the original version.

[@menchitty11]

Why US radio ignored both this song and Airport is quite criminal. Those songs should fit perfectly in any US Rock format. It's also incomprehensible that the band's first 2 albums ("1" and "Approved By...") never made the Billboard Top 200 album chart (unless both Bubbled Under).

[@wsr216]

Not all U.S. Radio. It was WBCN in Boston who first turned me on to these guys by playing "Airport" in a regular rotation. They also played "Love And Loneliness", if memory serves me greatly. I found the vinyl and to this day, "Tenement Steps" is a Desert Island Favorite of mine.

[@dariowestern]

They played Leif Garrett's version.

love this song ohh beautiful memories of the 70's ❤❤❤❤

[@pcno2832]

You only heard this on college and alternative stations here in the USA, so it's kind of a lost oldie. The silver lining is that it never got overplayed, so it sounds as fresh today as it did in 1978. Leif Garret did a passable cover of it the next year, but it only sounded OK if you'd never heard this version.

It went to #1 on my own playlist many years ago (more than 40?) ! That's what counts for me!

[@AlexAlexon3897]

Whereas Airport was an early summer hit, Forget About You was in the charts in late summer, and it has a touch of autumnal regret. Both emotional songs from blokes who looked pretty hard. Think the follow-up should've been Soul Redeemer rather than Today. It was time for a jolly singalong after these beautiful but sad songs. I remember building a bonfire for our village Bonfire Night with a mate, and we were singing Forget About You and thinking how well it fit with the nicely downbeat November vibe. 🙂💙💢
