Indie was invented in the 80s, RB.  (Well, late 70s technically, but it boomed in the 80s)

Not everything that decade was glittery synth-pop...

Yeah I know that indie was invented in the 80s- what with the Smiths but todays indie doesn't sound anything like indie back then. its even more miserble now and, well, boring. My point was that A ha were a bright pop band and now they are just doing the same as all those current 'indie' bands-can't treally think of any of their names but you know what I mean! Its like-be yourself! Or a least be a bit more original, you know?!

I prefer A-ha's older stuff, as in the Hunting High & Low album, to their new stuff.

I'm not a big fan.

Possibly because I'm not a woman.  ::)

A-Ha would've been fairly high up on my 'melt this junk vinyl' list back in their heyday. However, I've mellowed a bit and don't mind it now in a sort of cheesy but tuneful way.

Prefer 'miserrable indie' though.  O0
