Wendy/Lisa were like two-faces - they would look hot sometimes, not hot other times... e.g. Lisa looked downright fuckable in the 1999 video, but sorta dowdy afterwards.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Lisa was hot in those videos. Definitely gave 10 year old me something to think about.

Classic lineup, of course, was Conny, Franco, Andy, Niclas. And Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride is a very solid album.

Thanks for the correction, I'm probably in the minority but I like their song Fields Of Fire better than In A Big Country. Am I wrong but weren't they Adam Ant's backing band before they popped or am I confusing them with Bow Wow Wow?

Bow Wow Wow were Adam's original Ants before his most successful years. Speaking of which, McLaren getting the 14-year old singer to pose topless or nude (I forget which and ain't going to check) for a 7" sleeve photo, even with her back to the camera, makes him a candidate for that Most Deplorable Acts thread.

Can you imagine the creeps Annabelle had to put up with in the late 70's/early 80's? Thanks for the info, I thought I was confusing them with Big Country.
