I couldn't name one song by them, tbh.

I'll pass on this one.

Great choice Leon :ok:

Although, the Big O would be great too :tup:

Love OMDs first LP as it was something different to all the other stuff I was listening to. Like the early stuff best. Saw them a number of times live and they were always brilliant :love:

I was beginning to think I'd chosen the wrong artist, James. I'd have thought quite a few 80's pop fans on here would enjoy OMD.

The Big O & the O'jays (Faaips suggestion) is right out of my era!

No, it's a good choice mate, great group too.

Always made catchy and listenable music.

But it all comes down to taste.

I could name my favourite Big O and O Jays songs, but it would be from a short list and I guess many youngsters wouldn't have listened to those artists much.

But they should 8-)

Thanks James.

I'm trying to vary my choices to a wider audience, I'm not a big fan of the last three artists I've selected, but it's not about me! However, I generally enjoy at least a few songs from the majority of bands/artists.

This would be my brother's wet dream. He's a huge OMD fan, he's seen them live around 15 times including recently.
I saw them live twice at the Ipswich Regent back in the 80's.

I think I know 3 OMD songs, RFWL, Enola Gay and maybe one more I couldn't name... It's really not enough to vote for otherwise it becomes not a favourites poll more a song's I've heard poll. Never knowingly heard an OMD album I'm afraid.
