   There is nothing to get. I simply enjoy Culture Club.

   They put out some of the best 80s music.

   Listen and enjoy.

    I know your really referring to the music and not the artist but:

    Don't let it get in the way of the music :-)

    Apparently, British law really wants to hurt him.

    That's not cool.

    He fought the law and the law won. Ooops, different genre!

    "he is currently on probation for assault and false imprisonment of a male escort."

    they are so out to get him.
    imagine not wanting him to benefit publicly from living in a house full of captive men.

    There was worse music than Culture Club produced in the 80's but not much.

    Awful band. No soul and terrible lyrics.

    My musical knowledge would blow your mind...

    (by the way... it came out in 82 so that would have made me 7)

    Uhh... I WAS there, as though that should matter, and rather agree w/velo nut. (Please refer to earlier comment). But to each their own.

    I just liked countingcoup's Judas Priest lyrics. All hail Rob Halford, the Metal God.

    Regardless of whether or not I liked the Culture Club, I really enjoyed being wasted or hung over watching MTV in those years.

    Video didn't kill the radio star but reality TV or the iPod may have. Times have changed and still I can go see Cheap Trick or Slayer live. Life can truly be good.

    To young to know better? I snuck out to see the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour just a few years later.

    Culture Club was trash euro beat!

    Meanwhile, THESE bands were pumping out REAL music in the 80's!

    Oingo Boingo
    Violent Femmes
    Talking Heads
    Eurythmics
    Queen
    Cheap Trick
    Clash
    Kim Wilde
    Billy Idol
    Henry Rollins

    i turned off the radio during the 80s ... that could have been because my kids were full of teen angst..

    but i still enjoy the oldies more..
    why do you think the luna cafe is our date night choice?

    See HMC_Rich, the political right and the left can find middle ground with Judas Priest - "Breakin' the Law".... Now that is classic :-)

    IMHO, the only decade that rivals the 80's for fab music is the 50's. The 60's trail a bit behind, then the 70's, with the 90's and 00's falling far behind. To velonut's list I would add Psychedelic Furs, OMD, and Modern English. It's a long list, so I'll end there!

    Roy Orbison didn't hit his stride until the 60s:)

    Did Modern English ever produce anything else but "Melt With You"?

    Oh please! The 80's didn't produce ANY soul/dance artist that could rival Bootsy Collins or George Clinton. Even Prince's first couple (or three, DOI) albums came out in the 70's.
    -
    The British soul/dance movement was a pale interpretation of the American original, as usual (see: the blues).

    Yaz! Hopey, I knew I liked you. (Of course, the 80's were also the time of the Love and Rockets comics, from which I assume you took your username...I was a huge fan.) I was just listening to the original "A Very Special Christmas" album, which includes Allison Moyet's version of the Coventry Carol...

    And KYYX! How long it has been since I've even heard a reference to that station...and after they went away, there was the dearly departed KJET, which you can still listen to here, sort of:

    herongrrrl, you assumed correctly. :) I have that Christmas album too, on vinyl though. Need to get it ripped, along with the Phil Spector Christmas, and Elvis' Christmas on clear green vinyl...
