I remember when I was in Belgium in 1991 that Sniff song was a hit there at the time and I was like "what? That song is ancient!"

That's how I felt about the same year when I was in Spain and Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling" was a hit. Which I later found out was because it was in a commercial for the department store El Corte Inglés.

Thanks for the YouTube link -- that's definitely a song I never had a visual connection to. Had to laugh over the poster's qualified comment, though: "'Driver's Seat' is perhaps the most popular song by British new wave band Sniff'n The Tears." Yes, perhaps.

One Way Or Another - Blondie 0

Hmm! And didn't this win a different poll?

I would have voted for Ian if I'd known it was gonna turn out like this- that's a good song.

HAH!

They all SAID they were going to vote for Ian.

six years pass...

I'm not sure if I'm going crazy or what but I'm almost entirely certain that the version of Rock 80 that I bought when I was a kid did NOT have that shitty song from Ian Gomm... I'm sure that instead there was a track from Delbert McClinton: Givin' It Up for Your Love..! Does anyone else remember that.!?
