Just realised I was mixing them up with Sister Sledge. I had thought sister sledge's Frankie was my introduction to PS. My mistake. Ignore me! My intro to PS must have been Jump or Iโ€™m so excited.

That was excellent and much better than Frankie!

A great song and perfect pick.

Wouldn't be right if EC didn't pop up. Nice one, again.

I was so close to picking Kirsten today! Great to see this version.

I thought both were Blondie songs for many years

Brilliant pop. I don't remember this first time around.

So good to hear Roddy and Edwyn together. I was (and still am) a big fan of both their bands. Here they are at Tim Peaks a few years back: youtu.be/ku83Gcg28uU?...

A lovely tune but probably that would probably only work on the album as a great closer.

This is so good. I, unsurprisingly, heard Blondie first, but when I first heard this I loved it!

I do but only because I think you either posted it or directed me to it once. It's fantastic.

Fabulous! Excellent poodle find.

Sadly not!

I missed them around the first album and came back to it later. I was on my first stint in Japan and then travelling in Asia when they started out so didn't hear them then.

It's one of their best.

Wasn't the first thing I heard but is definitely one of my favourites.

Always good when EC pops up. This sounds familiar because ECs voice is so familiar but Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ve actually heard this before.

Transported straight back to my school days! Great pick.

Hadnโ€™t seen the video before. Stunning album, this.

That Canal + session is wonderful!

I'm fairly sure you're probably right - chances are very much that it is grey and miserable there.

One of those great songs we all know. Love the cheap shark effect in the video!

06.03.2026 23:45 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I was thinking the same - that I have known this song forever and yet didn't know who sang it!.

06.03.2026 23:44 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well, we have a beautiful sunny morning here but the song still makes an excellent start to the day.

Duran Duran missed out when he left!

Another artist that I really like but somehow passed me by for many years. I didn't really get into him until I was much older - still better late than never. This is a a great song!

06.03.2026 23:36 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I didn't know that - could have used that in the family members in bands challenge!
