I like UB40 a lot. I have about 15 of their songs and love them all. The only thing is, they're on a tape I found, and there are no song titles.

I put UB40 in the same bracket as Status Quo and Simple Minds, in as much that all the people I know that like UB40, don't seem to like anybody else whatsoever.

Interesting UB40 fact:

Their last single sold 98% of its copies in one branch of HMV.
