One of my favourite bands ever. I did however have a row with a guy at work over this album - he was "quizz master" for a work quiz and when it cam to the music round we had the traditional 10 "beat the intro" tracks recorded onto tape, a point each for Title and Artist.Thought I'd go back to the 80s for a bit
One of the tracks was "Together in Electric Dreams" (1 point, thank you) by Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. (Sits back and waits for the 2nd point.)
Him: "That's wrong"
Me: "What do you mean that's wrong?"
Him: "It's by The Human League, I taped it off their "Greatest Hits" CD. No point.
Me: Grrrrr! No, It's not! It might be on the Greatest Hits CD, but it's not by The Human League...
Him: Yes it is.
Me. No it's not!
(And repeat!) I didn't get the point, I have no idea how significant that was in the grand scheme of the outcome of quiz but I have never forgiven him anyway!

Hmm, he sounds like management material
I like a bit of pop quiz, me. I always thought 70s music was my thing, as it was what I grew up with. But a few years ago me and Anita did an online 80s quiz, and between us we got 100/100 correct! I hadn't realised 80s pop music had embedded itself in my memory so completely! It really was the decade for pop I reckon

When I was at school there used to be an inter-school quiz league for the sixth forms. I joined the team since you got to go visit schools that had girls.
We had a semi-final match against one school which was very close and came down to one question, 'In the book 'The Hobbit' who killed the dragon Smaug?'
The correct answer is 'Bard The Bowman' which we gave. But the answer on the question sheet was 'Bilbo Baggins.' So we lost and got knocked out. The bloke even admitted the answer was wrong but the rules were that the answer on the sheet was final.

Was your school boys only then? Posh. So were you like Tom Brown, or more of a Flashman?

Boys only Grammar school. Founded by Jesuits in 1842. It wasn't posh, more like a military prison for 11 to 18 year olds. Any time I see the film 'The Hill' that reminds me of it.
Was a good school though, education-wise.
