Any Chameleons fans here? (favorite songs, albums, tracks, bands, songs)

Just got turned onto this band, and I love love love them. I think "SWamp Thing" is fantastic...."Strange Times" is wonderful from top to bottom, anyone else like them?

I have Strange Times and it's pretty good. I actually like the bonus tracks (I think they're from an EP) better than the actual album.

Swamp Thing seems to be the track that convinces everyone to check out this band; it's a killer song.

Wow...yeah, I have Strange Times, I think its iffy, but "Swamp Thing" is one of my very favorite songs from the 80's...and the reason I picked them up...Its sooooooo good.

The Chameleons are one of those bands where if you hear a couple of songs you think they sound amazing yet when you listen to more than a couple of albums you quickly realise they're a bit of a one trick pony.

Script Of The Bridge & Strange Times are pretty much all you need.

Tough to please you Urban.

Somehow I am only just getting into the band as of today so let's see if this is correct.

Listening to What Does Anything Mean? Basically (great stuff) and have Script of The Bridge queued up for later.

Like them a lot! Script of the Bridge was certainly one of my earliest experiences beyond the mainstream as a kid, and "Up the Down Escalator" was one of the many singles I got at Camelot Music when it was almost giving away a lot of Imports as a great price. I think I said this before here, maybe not, but they seriously were a band that had consistently good releases.
