Number 117: English Evenings - I Will Return


English Evenings was the brainchild of Lee Walsh, a native of Yorkshire, who advertised for musicians and put the band together in early 1983. They quickly got a recording contract and produced one LP, After Dark, in 1984 before disbanding due to poor sales and creative differences. "I Will Return" was their fourth single, and though it failed to chart it became English Evenings' most popular release. The video (which seems to have not made it to the modern internet in any form) was interesting with its phalanxes of knights marching off to war. Anyway, "I Will Return" gets the #117 spot on this list.

  1. What Big Country would sound like if Adam Ant was yodeling in the background whilst playing with a Star Trek phaser
