Any fans of Yazoo here?

Who?

isn't that, that harmonica type instrument?

Nobody's Diary and Situation were good.

At least Alison Moyet can sing!

Not as good as PSB.

I Like Don't Go and Only You, they were a very good duo but no, nowhere near as good as PSB though.

Good call Catherine. Don't Go was a good tune as well.

Ye can stick yer Kazoo up yer bum!

Yazoo, commen talle vouz, a knock on the door, in the night

is your avatar a pic of you or is it chris? if it's you, you're the spit of him. if it's chris, never mind!

There's a couple of fantastic singles by Yazoo. I find it amazing how well received they were critically and in general during their recent-ish concerts. I bet Andy Bell would kill a child for that kind of respect.

They were fantastic.. wonder why they broke up when they had a good sound going..

They weren't getting along. They were both quite stubborn and had *very* different ideas about music, as shown by the completely different paths they took.

Vince had intended it to be a one-off collaboration. When "Only You" became a massive hit, he was under pressure to do an album... and then another album.

It's too bad because they really were great together. Alison had much more -- for lack of a less ridiculous and clichéd term -- soul than anyone else Vince has worked with. Andy Bell could never pull off something like "Winter Kills".

Did you know it was "comment allez-vous?" though?
