Thing is though back in the early 80s there was a huge amount of guitar pop around , there is now, it's just classed as 'indie'.

Back when the Teardrop Explodes first came onto the scene Julian Cope was being promoted by his record company to places like Smash Hits & Radio 1 as being the next big teen heart-throb.

I'll repeat that because I can hardly believe it myself , Julian Cope , a teen heart-throb. It seems laughable now but back then it was commonplace.
