Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. The Story of a Young Heart (1984) ♦♦♦Ĭontains the hit “The More You Live, The More You Love.” Other standouts include “Heart of Steel,” “Over My Head,” “The End,” and “Suicide Day,” these four tracks showing some signs of life. A Flock of Seagulls were one of prime movers in the 80’s new wave era. This style was popularized by lead singer David Bowie, who wore. The haircut is made up of short, choppy hair that is styled into a mass on top of the head. The haircut was first popularized by the British rock group, The Flock of Seagulls, in the early 1970s. The second album features “Wishing,” other standouts including the college radio hits “Transfer Affection” and “Talking.” But aside from “Electrics,” this is more of the same, only not as interesting. The Flock of Seagulls Haircut is one of the most well-known hairstyles in the world. The self-referential release title contains most of their better songs, including “I Ran,” “You Can Run,” and “Telecommunication.” Overall feel of the album is robotlike or otherworldly, the kind of music you might hear over the sound system- on a flight to Mars. A Flock of Seagulls (1982) ♦♦♦♦ĭebut album by the British New Wave group of the same name. Silly coiffures aside, though, AFOS enjoyed a brief moment of fame during 1982-83, due in large part to their rep in European dance clubs and later, on MTV. The album closes with the epic “5 Years, 26 Days, and 8 Hours,” a fitting end to a collection of tracks as diverse as they are entertaining.When a band has two hairdressers in it, it isn’t surprising that the lead singer has a unique hair style- in this case, a seagull’s hindquarters. “Still Not Over You” showcases her gift for the touching, orchestrated ballad.
The hit single “I Will Wait For You” deserves all the attention it can get. Though she sometimes sounds like she’s channeling Sheryl Crow, as on the hard-edged “But You Are” and the wonderfully Beatle-soaked “All I Need,” she makes the music her own.

Sixteen years later, Lauren Wood proves she still has an ear for tasteful arrangements and hook-filled, catchy melodies and phrasing. Overall, this is a fine album from a talented singer who didn’t hit the big time, but gave us some wonderful music anyway. “What I’d Give for Love” is a minor-key wonder with a new wave edge to it. Then there’s the lightweight, bouncy “Breakin’ Too Many Hearts,” another one of those tracks that sounds like it should have been a hit. “Fallen” charted, but the stunning ballad “Dark December Night” makes one realize where Lauren’s real talent lies.
Wood’s style of soft rock and pop, is leavened by ballads, the latter her strong suit, as evidenced by the timeless “Time Zone” the sad but beautiful “Overload,” both of which hearken back to her days in Chunky, Novi and Ernie. Novi and Ernie join Lauren on her debut, which featured the hit “Please Don’t Leave,” zooming to the #6 spot on the Adult Contemporary chart one wonders why “Save the Man” and the brilliant “Hollywood” weren’t hits, as well, considering the radio play they received. After a two-album stint with the eclectic Chunky, Novi and Ernie, Lauren pursued a solo career- and for a couple years enjoyed moderate fame Lauren Wood (1979) ♦♦♦♦♦
