[zzxxee]

I have this on at the moment.
Forgot just what a great band they were is anyone else a fan?
If so what's your fav OMD track?.

[tiggerblue10]

Enola Gay

[WELSHYORKIE]

Me too tigger - thought their recent hit sounded a lot like Enola Gay too

[zzxxee]

they had a recent hit ?
i did not know they were still together !!

[redman41]

I think they broke up and reformed in 2005. Still going strong and still touring. I used to like them

[zzxxee]

the video for maid of new orleans was just breathtaking from what i remember will have to youtube it later.

[tiggerblue10]

I also like "If you leave". It was used in the film Pretty in Pink.

pretty in pink cracking 80s film, i loved the 1980s !!!

[Booldawg]

OMD 'Organisation' was the first LP I ever bought!

[ummmm]

Seen them live...sadly, they were crap.

[tiggerblue10]

The '80s were great for music and film. I loved the Brat Pack.

[Sooper]

Electricity is my fave and also my ringtone at the moment!

[joggerjayne]

The only one I have is Electricity.

It's on my iPod because it plays at 160bpm, which is my running pace, so it's in my "Tracks To Run To" playlist.

So, I suppose that's my favourite.

[zzxxee]

[tiggerblue10]

Yes, I remember Tesco Girls! Lol

[mosesg]

Has to be If You Leave, fantastic record.

Enola Gay and Tesla girls.
I noticed that The Vaccines new single has the same chord structure as EG - so I've put the two tracks together :

Actually, I like most of OMD's stuff - I like the steel drum solo in If You Leave.
It's nice to know they're still going.
