🎸‌[GAME] Word Scramble - '80s British Bands ‌🎸‌

[RafaC]

Hello everyone!

New year, new decade on our journey through the decades of glorious British pop music, we now enter perhaps the most controversial of them, the sometimes flamboyant, sometimes on point 1980s.

As with the previous Word Scramble, bear in mind that these are all British bands that were formed during the ‘80s, as perhaps you may associate some of them more with the ‘90s when they were more popular. A few of them are very obvious ones (Madchester anyone?) whilst others are more left (some very left in this case) field picks. Also, no solo artists, just bands.

Some brilliant bands in the scramble.

Thanks for the game @RafaC and well done to @Cleoriff and @Mi-Amigo for quickly smashing this one. Been unable to take part in things too much lately but for once was able to join in briefly.

[RafaC]

Happy that you enjoyed it and were able to partake in the game @BobM! You sure contributed to smashing this one quickly!

Although not my era as such @RafaC, as a lover of many musical genres, I thought this was great.

PS. My nephew was bass guitarist with The Sisters Of Mercy. 😉

[RafaC]

Great to hear that you liked it @Cleoriff! And I'm the same, as I love many musical genres, I like to at least take a peep in all eras. 

And wow! That's great about your nephew! My dad was a fan, I remember he had a couple of The Sisters of Mercy vinyls on his collection 😎

This is a very popular game isn't it ?

I looked in on it earlier in the morning on my phone

I got the various The and New words ha ha ha.

I then thought of The New Romantics ..... not there, so probably wrong era

Never-the-less I enjoyed the game too
