A couple of months ago, I was listening to my personalized Yahoo radio; among the endless songs was "Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry", by none other than the Heaven 17. And I'm thinking to myself, "OMG, isn't that that band named after that one in 'A Clockwork Orange'?" (I had gotten the movie on DVD, so that's how I figured it so easily, though that goes without saying...)
I took a listen to some of their other songs, & now, I absolutely love these guys! Their albums go for good prices on Amazon, so I should be getting them shortly...Anyway, their music is so whimsically delightful. I wonder if there are any other fans lurking around here...

I thought their biggest hit was Let me Go.. That is the only song by them I know, but I love it. Maybe I should buy their Greatest hits to see whats on there!

Certainy here in the UK it's Temptation that most people start singing when their name is mentioned.... ******** Ive never been closer Ive tried to understand That certain feeling Carved by anothers hand But its too late to hesitate We cant keep on living like this Leave no track Dont look back
All I desire Temptation Keep climbing higher and higher Temptation Adorable creatures Temptation With unacceptable features Temptation Trouble is coming Temptation Its just the high cost of loving Temptation You can take it or leave it Temptation But youd better believe it
Youve got to make me an offer That cannot be ignored So lets head for home now Everything I have is yours Step by step and day by day Every second counts I cant break away Leave no trace Hide your face

You need to register (free) to see all the site, but there's a whole load of information there - and the news that the band are still together and still touring!

I have a few albums by them, I think Penthouse and Pavement was the best. I think some members of Heaven 17 were in the original incarnation of Human League before they split and got the two girls in the band.
We don't need this Fascist groove thing was a popular song as well.

I did hear something about the Human League ties. Very fascinating to know that, actually, since I'm also a fan of their music, too. ^_^

I have the 12 inch of Let Me go somewhere. They take up a lot of space, as do laser discs. But they are sure fun to look at.

Tell me about it; my mom still has a lot of her old 80's vinyls. ^_^

I only knew of Let Me Go, but I downloaded the songs you guys recommended and they're good...so anyone who liked Let Me Go should try to get their hands on some of their other stuff.
