They're a pretty cool band consisting of Mike Rutherford, Paul Carrack and the late Paul Young. My favourite song is "Word of Mouth" from what is probably their most unsuccessful album.

View Full Version : Mike & The Mechanics Mr 1980s 2-22-06, 06:08 PM They're a pretty cool band consisting of Mike Rutherford, Paul Carrack and the late Paul Young. My favourite song is "Word of Mouth" from what is probably their most unsuccessful album. Jasper 2-22-06, 06:15 PM Not sure how HARD rock they are, but I love THE LIVING YEARS. DIO 2-23-06, 03:41 PM Looking baccccck.. over my shoulder :thumb: More pop to me than hard rock. Kitten 2-23-06, 03:56 PM I voted Silent Running. I forgot all about that song :) bookmistres4ever 2-26-06, 01:40 AM Of the choice given, I love Silent Running (even the video is memorable). But I also liked a few other songs not listed, namely "All I need is a miracle" and "Taken In." 80sTrivia 2-26-06, 07:24 AM I voted for the haunting "The Living Years". Such an beautifully written song that can bring a tear to my eyes whenever I hear it... 80s Queen 2-26-06, 09:18 AM I'm surprised that All I Need Is a Mericle and Taken In were not mentioned in the options. They are both awesom songs. Mr 1980s 2-26-06, 10:39 AM Sorry. I read the options off of my DVD. :) 80s Queen 2-26-06, 11:56 AM No problem. I just thought those 2 songs were pretty awesom. Especially Taken In. I really love that song. I wasn't trying to find fault. Those were all good choises.Sorry. I read the options off of my DVD. :) Mr 1980s 2-26-06, 02:09 PM The promo clip for "A Beggar on a Beach of Gold" is fabulous. The band have gold coins that replace the lens in their sunglasses. I wish I was on a beach of gold right now. The video is top class fantasy. nolanbuc 2-27-06, 03:42 AM Among the songs on the list, I picked "Silent Running", but "All I Need Is A Miracle" is my fave. Pagan 2-27-06, 12:56 PM Not to throw a monkey wrench into the works, but M&TM are glam or hard rock? :lol: DIO 2-28-06, 01:59 PM Not to throw a monkey wrench into the works, but M&TM are glam or hard rock? :lol: Hmmmmm great question :clap: Roemello 2-28-06, 02:45 PM Moved to Top 40 :lol: And I added 'All I Need is a Miracle' to the poll :p 80s Queen 3-01-06, 05:20 PM Glad you added that one. It was such a big hit. Good plan. 80's fanatic 3-05-06, 11:22 PM I picked the song 'The Living Years' but I also like 'All I Need Is A Miracle' :) Monty007® 3-28-06, 03:51 AM Silent Running get's my vote ! Tanya1976 4-01-06, 06:55 PM The Living Years....yes, I love that song. It would be followed by All I Need is a Miracle. Chasey 4-03-06, 02:37 PM Tell you what, I've recently download 'Here Comes The Night' by Mike And The Mechanics from one of the various Miami Vice Soundtracks - and put simply it's brilliant! Anyone else heard of this track? Recker 4-05-06, 11:26 PM Silent Running. Living Years drove me up the wall because it was way overplayed. I still hear it on the radio too much these days and change stations whenever it comes on. Mr 1980s 6-02-06, 08:57 AM I was gonna say, this poll is bogus. Then I noticed someone added All I Need Is A Miracle to the list. Woo!! :) Bazman 7-31-06, 06:17 AM i like silent running because it has some mystery to it i think. but all i need is a miracle is great too. they both sound really really 80's. |
