Avecinfuser Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Prefab Sprout... The King Of Rock 'N' Roll A Prisoner Of The Past I love the Andromeda Heights album where the latter track is taken from. Oh I like Prefab Sprout too. An influence from my older brother who introduced me to the likes of The Smiths, Wet Wet Wet and The Housemartins. I think I still have the Andromeda Heights CD somewhere though I basically stopped listening to them after that album.I love Dubstar... Not So Manic Now which unfortunately disbanded and songstress Sarah Blackwood went on to form Client... Here And Now And I love Dubstar!!! Yeah too bad they disbanded although I didn't know that the lead singer went on to form another group. But I like the sounds of Client and Here And Now. Will download it right now. Thanks! Here's my favourite Dubstar song....Stars....I think I may have posted this before. Sorry! My favourite George Michael song!Big fan of Georgie! Here's my favourite song from my favourite Listen Without Prejudice album....Praying For Time. Only to lie like this between the bombs, dreaming away and not alone, because time was very short.
