does anyone remembe Brother Beyond? They were a late 80's boy band who almost reached the top in the UK with their debut single 'The Harder I Try' in 1988

From 1988-1989, they had 5 UK top 40 hits:

The Harder I Try
He Ain't No Competition
Be My Twin
Can You Keep A Secret
Drive On

Wow, I had totally forgotten about Brother Beyond. I really liked their song "The Harder I Try". I remember reading an article about the band in Star Hits magazine back-in-the-day. (Gosh, how I miss Star and Smash Hits magazines!) Too bad they didn't reach the level of popularity in N. America that they experienced in the UK... :)

Only tune I remember by them was "Girl I Used To Know". I think it came out in 1990.

Like Bros, I used to hate them. :hammer:

But as was the case with Bros, I actually have grown to quite a few of their tracks 'The Harder I Try' was actually a half decent tune.

PS An ex of mine admitted that she the only reason she bought the Brother Beyond album was because of the cover. Now that's pretty sad! :lol: :no:

There's no shame in that :)

I once bought the CD by 'Carmen Electra' because, well, have you seen her? HUBBA! HUBBA!

Why do I sense a 'but frankly who cares' undertone in that statement, God? :yesnod: :lol:

I think we should make a thread of "ALBUMS I BOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE COVER" thread :lol: I'm guilty aswell :yesnod: Those vinylalbum covers were so big and inviting - nothing like a puny CD cover which you have to use a magnifying glass just to view the details on :no:
