Vive Le Rock

It's safe to say that Adam Ant's Live Aid performance hasn't gone down as one of the all time greats. He was only allowed to play one song, so he chose his latest single, Vive Le Rock - a worldwide audience of 1.5 billion people helped it peak at 50 in the charts. Anyway, I thought it was great. It's parent album, released later that year, was mostly ignored. Rockabilly and garage rock weren't what the public wanted from him but it did, if I recall, get a rave review in Kerrang!

I bought it a few months later a a knockdown prices. It's still a slightly cheesy but fun listen.
