Play Deep (Take 2)

My second attempt at a poll!

The Outfield - the unmistakable 80's sound. Which is your favorite tune from this band's album Play Deep?

"All The Love (In The World)" for me. "Nervous Alibi" and "Say It Isn't So" are right behind.

This was a tough one. This was a great album. I wish the Outfield had been more popular. They had some great material.

They played here about 3 years ago with The Fixx. It was great!!!!

I didn't know they were still doing shows. John Spinks was so explosive and unpredictable back at the start of their career that I figured they self-destructed long ago. I'm glad they still occasionally play because Tony Lewis just has a fantastic voice that needs to be used.

It was a free concert. The city of Louisville has free concerts during the summer. Most of the one's this year were country artists.

Boy, Louisville must really hate its citizens.

See, now I know I'm gonna be digging out all my old Outfield CDs later. I somehow managed to amass five of them.

By the way, good job on this poll. I can't believe none of us thought of doing it before.

Thanks! Next up - Genesis!

All the Love wins my vote, but a great album all around. I agree they didn't get enough airplay.

Sorry CSME, I no canna vote. I have heard of Outfield, but am unaware of any of their stuff being released over here

That surprises me since they were a UK band. I figured Britain just dumped all their music on Australia by default.

No we finally got out of that Master/Servant relationship. Now we get dumped on by the USA instead

It was probably in that period where I got brassed off with music and stopped listening for a while. Would they have been mid to late 80's ? If so, that may be why

"Play Deep" was indeed 1986.

They definitely didn't make a ripple here and even though like you, I stopped listening to current stuff around the mid to late 80's, I know this for a fact
