Mark Hollis

The wonderful lead singer of the brilliant Talk Talk has passed away at just 64. He had a fabulous voice and the band were so ridiculously under-rated. Rest in peace Mark and thank you for some fabulous records which I still play today and will continue to do until the day I die.

Sad, I saw Talk Talk in Germany in 85 and to this day they are the best I’ve ever seen live in concert.

Sad news. Talk Talk were truly a band that evolved, but their catchy commercial stuff and more experimental later albums are all enjoyable.

Such a shame

Talk Talk were great and his solo album is good too. Hollis had retired from the music industry without fanfare and I liked the way he didn't feel any need to explain himself.

Sad news. As Pearcey says, very under-rated. Colour of Sping was beautiful. Still listen to them a fair bit to this day. Wish I'd seen them live.

I wished I had seen them live too Pete. I’ve got Colour of Spring to play tomorrow night.
