Spandau Ballet's great song "Gold"

I have never heard much of Spandau Ballet, but the song “Gold” is truly brilliant. I have heard it many times before but have not noticed how brilliant this song is until recently. I just saw the video and was amazed

Truly one of the greatest songs from the 1980’s. :slight_smile:

Ah, the Spandies. Despite the regrettable outfits and wedge cuts they were actually very good. If you like SB one of their earliest tracks (“To Cut A Long Story Short”) is brilliant. Very different sound than the smoothed-out R&B flavor of the “Gold” and “True” era.

“Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On)” is another great early track of theirs.

Instinction is a great early track too.

Never thought I would admit this but Gold is a great song.

“these are my salad days slowing being eaten away”

Great chorus as well.
