It is my top 500 of all time as a DJ of Electronic Alternative music

😆

And u-conic, too.

Yes it still does

And Fad Gadget was around before both of them

@John friel, no he wasn't... Fad Gadget released his first single in 1979 and first album in 1980... Gary Numan (active since 1975) and John Foxx (active since 1967) had both been around for years before Fad Gadget... I do like Fad Gadget though

@@DaveAndBeth1978 And speaking of Ultravox, Midge Ure took his place after he left for a solo career.

Do not agree. Gary Numan almost solely set the synth scene fully above grond without any help! OMD, Depeche, Human League Alphaville, and many others, no one got it popular before Gary! But indeed Foxx is heavily underrated.

@proclaimed75 - I think Joe Meek / The Tornados, Wendy Carlos, Giorgio Moroder, Hot Butter, The Peppers, Chicory Tip, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Donna Summer, Space, The RAH Band and Jean Michel Jarre might disagree with you on that point TBH! They all wrote or scored synth / electronic hits before Numan, so he certainly didn't "almost solely" set the synth scene fully above ground without any help, it was already well above ground before he arrived! Numan has admitted himself numerous times he would never have made it without Foxx...

Great memories from a brilliant tune early 1980.

💯

Bowie, Velvet Underground, Chrisma, Television, The Stooges…

Metro

😂😂

Good one

you devil ;)

Bastard! 😅

And it shows! Loved the Ballardian themes on the Metamatic album

Because Gary admits he was heavily influenced by John. John was first btw.

Grounds for divorce…

😅@@lsdc1

Nah, just use it for leverage.

I agree

Listen to Billie Eilish the diner I feel like a part of that song reminds me of this song

40 years + but still funny

The Human League, Japan and Tubeway Army were around before this

@@DaveAndBeth1978 And Ultravox with John Foxx (founder) was before them, 1974.

Not before. Because you would then rule out Kraftwerk which were already active years before this.....

@@undergroundwarrior70 only 1977, but yes, before them.

@@undergroundwarrior70 - Ultravox were not a synth band at first, their early music was more rock / guitar-orientated... They definitely weren't around before Kraftwerk

Isn't it?😂

Omg same🤣🤣🤣

I allways thought he shouted "ALL OF USSSSSSSS"

Standing in the shop Stroking my thighs Lifting up the Y-fronts Nothing in my size Underpants! Underpants! Well, I used to wear boxers Now they're all worn Wasn't it some...thing... They warmed somebody's bum Underpants! Underpants! Scouring through the britches I think I like those They're comfy at the same...time... Leg, leg, bum Underpants! Underpants! Snuggly on my ass now Crumpled on the floor They'll last for years...now... Leg, leg, bum Leg, leg, bum Leg, leg, bum Leg, leg, bum Leg, leg... Underpants! Underpants! Underpants! Underpants!

@@Nervejam Leg, leg, bum! A gazillion upright thumbs will never be enough, genius!!!

However, John Foxx had been active in music since 1967 - long before Gary Numan or The Human League arrived... Numan has even said many times that he'd never have made it without the influence of Foxx, who Numan saw as a mentor

Nope, Gary was attending John's concerts before he released his first album.

Brilliant documentary

Midge Ure could only dream of being as innovative, creative or influential as John Foxx

@@DaveAndBeth1978 and yet pretty much nobody heard his name and the band was not very successful. Only a few care about the old Ultravox. Most know Ultravox because of Midge.

@@magdalenawaw673 - you couldn't be more wrong. Commercial success over a relatively short period is only half the story. In the years before / during Midge Ure's tenure with Ultravox, and then after Ultravox dissolved, more musicians have cited John Foxx as an influence than Midge Ure (by far)... Without John Foxx there would be no Ultravox at all - and Foxx's albums have still been charting / garnering critical acclaim as recently as 2020 - when was the last time Ure had a charting album, or indeed when was the last time he made a decent record? Not that I dislike Ure. He did make a few decent records in the 80s. But he was simply a more commercially savvy frontman than Foxx (and let's not forget, Ultravox's most successful release, Vienna, was outperformed by Joe Dolce - and yet, how many people would claim that Dolce was "better" than Ure, then or now? )... When it comes to innovation / creativity, career longevity, influencing the synth / electronic genre over the years, and pure, raw musical talent, Foxx is the more talented artist, not Ure

WHO ? ? ?

Homeless families... Absolutely loads of them took refuge in tunnels and underpasses in those days

So, in short, you have no clue what you're talking about

@@DaveAndBeth1978 I bow to your experience tiny disco boy.
