The Friday Canon: Adam And/Or Ants

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Today's canon is early 80s new pop* sensation Adam Ant, with or without his trusty backing band of Ants. You get five(-diddly-qua-qua) ticks. Ridicule (in the comments box) is nothing to be scared of!


[Poll #909784]


*was he even considered New Pop, actually? What DID the music press make of him?

I wouldn't be so sure! There are definitely people in the US who will rep Dirk Wears White Sox as classixor punk/noo wave album and don't care about the fa-diddley stuff.

I don't think anyone in Britain thinks this though.

ha, I saw them live in 1977! Barton Hill Youth Club in Bristol, it was. I think Jordan was the support, but not the one who is famous now. Anyway, they were rubbish then.
