Over a year later, and no one remembers Hothouse Flowers? :\'(
Don't Go is still my favourite. Their 1988 LP 'People' is fantastic! A must have for any 80s music fan :)

One or two of these threads do tend to get missed!
I only really remember 'Don't Go'...and I also remember that they got their break singing it during the interval of the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest (which was held in Ireland that year following Johnny Logan's second win...)
They (like Del Amitri) had a loyal following but couldn't seem to sustain big-time success...

Del Amitri now there is a band I LOVED. I saw then live 5 or 6 times and they were always brilliant.

I like Don't Go as well. Hothouse Flowers are relatively unknown in the US. I do not believe they had any radioplay here which is unfortunate because they were pretty good.

Yes, I remember Del Amitri ('Spit in the rain' and 'Nothing ever happens' are my favourites).
'Don't go' by Hothouse Flowers is the only song I know. An okay tune I like to listen to occassionally but it's not something that grabs me.
