Prefab Sprout

Got into PS around 10 years ago, a bit underated imo but have made some fantastic tunes, pretty much all written by lead singer Paddy Mcaloon. In case you don't know most of their hits were in the 1980's the last one being in 1997. Standout Songs like Cars and Girls, The King of Rock and Roll, When Love Breaks Down and Electric Guitars (Which is about the Beatles) . Anyone else a fan of them?!
-
Don't know much of thier stuff but my old man has their greatest hits and I like that album. Carnival 2000 Wild Horses Life of Surprises Love those 3 amongst others.
-
I have a partial interest in them owing to Virginia Astley playing keyboards with the group on some of their 1984 live dates.

I own all their albums so i'm a big fan. I have a soft spot for From Langley Park To Memphis, that's probably my favourite, although critics love the album Steve McQueen more. Paddy McAloon is a Paul fan as well.

Life of Surprises is a top tune.

Cars and Girls is a class tune.
