I got every album that I could find and tried to spread the word about their music. Is there anything to make of the name? I just figured it was some kind of weird sounding nonsense.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-39074350458827757832012-04-20T13:25:25.183-07:002012-04-20T13:25:25.183-07:00I mostly missed Prefab Sprout as they hit the big ...I mostly missed Prefab Sprout as they hit the big time just after I'd left school and begun my retreat into '70s rock but I do remember King Of Rock n Roll being on the radio a lot in '86.<br /><br />I had no idea that they had a following outside of Blighty and am amused to know what non-Brits make of the name.Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769681950535697498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-65517236857204317132012-04-18T12:26:49.741-07:002012-04-18T12:26:49.741-07:00Yvonne -- Sadly this group largely went unnoticed ...Yvonne -- Sadly this group largely went unnoticed in the U.S. They are a British group. They got more recognition on your side of the pond than here.<br /><br />Em -- I'm spreading the word about them.<br /><br />Smurf - I first heard about them when members of U2 said this was one of their favorite groups. I checked out and was blown away by the music.<br /><br />StMc -- To me Prefab Sprout has recorded some of the finest pop sounding songs, but with intelligent lyrics that talk about deep topics. You should check out some more of their music. I think they are pretty amazing.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-58819215303618412362012-04-18T10:46:38.205-07:002012-04-18T10:46:38.205-07:00LEE ~

Color me "surprised". Thanks.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
