Every decade has its shit music.

Look at the 60s charts, the so called golden age. Loads of stuff that has been deservedly forgotten because it's shit. Same for the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s etc.

"Sister Sledge and Frankie... 80s cheez at it's best

I loved this song! But in fairness I was 10. I remember choreographing dances to it in my back garden with my cousins

I loved it too but was somewhat older than 10

Only a smidge

Yeah I was 11

Cool!! A lady I work with has younger twin sisters who used to bunk off school to follow them around. They went to see them fairly recently on tour (must need some money), they remembered them from all those years ago and met them after the gig. Both of them look about 18, I saw some pics....Matt and Luke that is!!!

My FB timeline has been full recently of ex schoolmates who went to see Matt recently at Shepherds Bush (or somewhere like that)... they were gaga for him... i barely recognised him... his plastic surgeon has been busy I think!

Saw them play Newmarket in 2016, they still do a strong show. Wanted to get tickets for the Brighton gig this year, but was stuck in a traffic jam when they went on sale.
