1HWs? Two spring to mind. Roy C and his Shotgun Wedding; at the tender age of 11 I didn't fully grasp what a Shotgun Wedding was but loved the gun shot sound effects (though still nowhere near as good as the opening sequence to Captain Scarlet). I also remember it being out around the same time as Macca's C Moon - taping them both with a shaky mic whilst sat next to the telly getting everybody in the room to stay shtum. And what was L7 all about btw?
The second is, without doubt, a classic: Car 67 by Driver 67 was a My Baby Done Me Wrong for the 80s. Before I go, thank you to the blogger who put me on to Sufjan Stevens: he rates both Ian Hunter's Rant and Nick Lowe's At My Age (as do I) so I took the plunge. Thanks again.
