Boomtown Rats had a great sound and were really en vogue in the UK in the late 70s and early 80s and they were one of the biggest bands here and I have their first four albums. But then all of a sudden around 1982 I think they just nosedived and everybody seemed to forget about them. They're just remembered now because they were the band of Bob Geldof.

Panorama is the quirkiest and most offbeat album that they ever put out and it's really just an album for die-hard fans, surprisingly though for such a gloomy album it was a big seller, despite the fact it was devoid of any obvious hit singles. This though was its biggest hit, I love both video and the song, but I can't see too many norms on here digging it
Panorama also contains one of their best ever songs as well:
