Number 93: Modern English - I Melt With You
Robert Grey's band Modern English formed in the UK in late 1979. Originally a post-punk group, they evolved into a New Wave outfit by early 1981's debut LP, Mesh and Lace. The album was moderately successful in Britain, but it was 1982's follow-up After The Snow that really got them noticed. Second single "I Melt With You" became a worldwide hit and an MTV staple. They released two more albums, but never recaptured the magic. Modern English broke up in early 1986. They get the #93 spot here.
...but they are now back together ...and touring! And Gary McDowell (chap with the Flock of Seagulls hair) traded in his effeminate looks and albino coiffe for the full monty of prison tatts ... don't google his pic if you plan on keeping your brekkie down. OK... I warned ya...
