I don't know much about this band... at all. But I have their "Play Deep" album (Saved from my dad's ex's garbage can!). I've only recently listened to it, but I love it! What do you think about The Outfield?

I love The Outfield! 8)
I always thought they never got the recognition they so deserved!

Yeah, they're a good band. They had sorta a Police-esque sound, but more pop/wave. Their big hit was "Your Love", but their best song is actually off their 1998 album, called "Girl of Mine", which sounds like it could've come out in 1987 (not in a bad way, either).

"Your Love" was a song I loved when I was a kid. I still love it, and I love every album The Outfield did. My ultimate favourite is "My Paradise" 8)

It's a shame it didn't get higher in the charts. I still believe it to be one of the BEST songs of the late 80s 8)

"My Paradise" gets a bit of play on Renegade Retro and was featured in our last stumper which nobody solved. :P
"Say It Isn't So" didn't chart anywhere? ???

According to the linear notes on "The Best of the Outfield" CD, it was a #1 hit, so I am assuming that was the Billboard Rock Charts

I like 61 Seconds and All My Love a lot, as well as Say It Isn't So

Yeah, probably the Modern Rock chart or something.
Anyway, the only single I know of theirs is "Your Love"; I don't know any other songs from them.

I love them even though all their songs sound the same (at least a little). I got to see them in concert in the mid-80s. I had them on cassette, just gotta get the CD
