Why do some of you have to criticize the two of them just because they’re not feeling songs from the past or don’t know too much about them?

We had such a wide variety of music in the 80s!!! We had the rock, alternative, industrial, progressive, rap, pop, R&B and music that made its own category, like Prince. And because of MTV, people had easy access to all of it. That's why 80s kids know so much different music, even if a certain genre wasn't their favorite. This is part of the 2nd British Invasion, so much great music.

@@cullmaster7361 My comment comes as US resident. The typical definition of a one hit wonder is a group that has only one top 40 single. While JHJ had several top 40 hits in the UK, they only had 2 in the US : Shattered Dreams #2 and I Don't Want To Be A Hero #31. So technically they wouldn't be a one hit wonder although there is a big gap between those 2 songs. I believe the group of people who know Shattered Dreams and no other JHJ songs is larger than the group who know multiple songs by them. Calling them a one hit wonder is not me downplaying their music. I'm sure they have lots of good songs that for whatever reason never did as well as Shattered Dreams. I'm a huge Prince fan, and most of my favorite songs by him are not the hits that everyone knows. It sounds like they liked the song so, I'm sure they'll react to JHJ again and maybe I'll find some more songs from them I like.

Jay and Amber, if you like this song by Johnny Hates Jazz then you'll REALLY like " Turn Back the clock " which is off the same Johnny Hates Jazz cd as ' Shattered Dreams '🎵

Similar sounding to this is ABC’s ‘When Smokey Sings’. The video is awesome too!

JHJ had a few hits in the UK - "Turn Back the Clock", "Don't Say it's Love" and this one were the best of them IMO.

Another class 80’s band would be Curiosity Killed the Cat. Songs to check out would be Misfit and Down to earth. Absolute bangers. ❤ from the UK

I love Johnny Hates Jazz, Shattered Dreams is a banger, Don’t Say It’s Love is another banger.

An absolute belter! 80’s music is an uplifting genre no matter what the topic of song. I grew up during the 80’s , it’ll always be my go to era first before anything else. Ultravox - Vienna or Go west - king of wishful thinking, absolute belters! ❤

Listen to Midge Ure's (Ultravox lead singer) "Dear God" sometime. You may remember it, got some radio play. One of my all time favorites.

Turn back the clock is their best song imo. Very good band still touring.

"Shattered Dreams" peaked @ #2 (3 wks) in 1988. Johnny Hates Jazz charted one more single in the Billboard Hot 100 "I Don't Want to be a Hero" (#31/ 1988) and that was it in the U.S.

And this song came out in 1988, which was a fun year here in America as far as music goes! We had hit after hit after hit after hit that year and all throughout the 80s too but especially in 1988

great choice - another one to recommend from JHJ is Turn Back the Clock. Beautiful song with nice lyrics and video. Keep it going with the 80's, it's the best decade of music by far.

This is one of my favorite earworms of all time. I can listen to it all day or hear it playing at the back of my mind and not get tired of it. It always feels fresh yet familiar, calm yet profound, insightful yet inciteful.

I was never a fan of this song but I can appreciate the great musicianship. As others have suggested, LEVEL 42 is a band you really need to hear. Something About You is awesome with a WICKED baseline. Leaving Me Now is also a fav from them but slower.

It's About Time You 2 Got Around To This Neat Song . . . 🙂 I Was Still In My 20's Back When This Neat Song Came Out, And As A Bass Player, And Drummer Back Then, I Really Loved Playing This Song . . . ;-) It's Still On My Play List, And The 2 Different Known To Me Video Versions Still Rock Out . . . :-)

Decent song, if you lived in this era it got a LOT of radio play which caused a bit of the "Landslide" effect for me if you know what I mean. Agree with other comments, "Something About You" by Level 42 is worth a listen. One of my favorite 80's tracks is "Love Of The Common People" by Paul Young.

Saw them at an 80s festival last year - my favourite of theirs is "I don't want to be a hero". Adam Ant, Tony Hadley (of Spandau Ballet), Billy Ocean, Thompson Twin (just the one - still brilliant), Red Box (absolutely ADORE "Lean on me" and "For America" is also a great song) and Belinda Carlisle also played. This year it was Heaven 17, Go West, Kim Wilde, Boomtown Rats and Soft Cell. Great stuff :D
