Nick Heyward : My All Time Top 10



   In December of 1981, Haircut One Hundred frontman Nick Heyward gave Smash Hits a fairly poppy list of his Top 10 fave songs ( which included the entire Talking Heads debut album). What's striking is that the UK#3/US Top 40 hit"Love Plus One" combines the ear worm catchiness of The Sixties best pop, with the quirkiness of early Talking Heads and the addition of vibes a la Gary Burton. ( Although, come to think of it, the Heads used vibes on "First Week/Last Week...Carefree") .  This list comes via Brian at Like Punk Never Happened. His hair is immaculate.

All Time Top 10 : Les Nemes of Haircut 100



[Purchase]

Bass Player Les Nemes of British popsters Haircut One Hundred ( "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl), "Love Plus One") gave this list to Smash Hits Magazine at about the time they were scoring their 4th Top 10 UK hit in a row "Nobody's Fool". You can hear that Caribbean flavor Haircut 100 adopted from the Hi Tension track. The list comes courtesy of Brian at Like Punk Never Happened.
