Always thought Mick Hucknall was a bit of a weirdo in the 80s, but boy did he come up with some great tunes.

Which was your favourite Simply Red song of the 80?

Arrrghh! I can't vote on this because I've never been able to seperate 'Moneys too tight' and 'Holding back the years'. Both are quality tunes.

So it's a dead heat between those two I'm afraid!

I've always loved Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years"; it's one of my favorite romantic 80s tunes. This was also the song my sister chose to play at her wedding... :)

Had to go with "Holding back the years" what a beautiful song :)

I really like the song "Stars" too but that was an early 90's hit.

This is one of those songs I just can't hold back singing along with at the top of my voice. But it is a tough decision to make. Some great songs there.

Holding Back the Years. Was never a big Simple Red fan, but he could sing, strange looking too.

I agree Recker, I thought Mick was kinda strange myself, but he had a unique voice that I liked to hear. I voted for "Holding Back The Years". :thumb:

I voted for Holding Back The Years. I could have voted for any of the songs. Mick Hucknall has a wonderful voice and he is a really sweet person.

I'm with Greenway on this! Great Debut Single. The guy has a wonderful soul voice. My favourite all time Simply Red song though is Jericho!

I quite liked 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'. Much better than Harold Melvin's version :yesnod:

Holding Back the Years. That song and Forever Young by Aplhaville always cause me to reminisce about my childhood...
