I first discovered this genius in 2002, and have been a fan since. The guy is a legend I think. His biggest hit is the 1986 single No One Is To Blame. He was an iconic figure in the 80's synth pop scene. His other well known songs include, but probably aren't limited to: New Song What Is Love Pearl In The Shell Like To Get To Know You Things Can Only Get Better All I Want Everlasting Love

Ah, but I always remember him for his awesome video for Life In One Day.

Hmm, never heard that one.

This is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVhsDs0JsN0 Watch the whole thing, and imagine how effective it was to a British teen watching it in the 80s on TV.

Gosh, I haven't thought of Howard Jones in a long time, though I liked his songs. "No one is to blame" is my favourite, and I can actually remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard it in '86.

Creepy ... I was just chatting with a mate of mine today about Howard Jones ... We then switched to Morrissey and spent most of lunch time trying to remember what his name is... Once back at the office.. we googled him.. Steven! Which I suspected because of the song Ouija Board... HAHA.. What a flashback!

Would you believe that I've never heard of Howard Jones or those songs.

I know the songs, but couldn't remember the songwriter!! Thanks, Allen!

I had forgetten how many songs of his I knew. Saw him last year at the rewind festival expecting to only know one song but I could sing along to most of his set.
