I bought Kings of the Wild Frontier when I was in 8th grade and thought it was amazing. Last year I heard the entire album again for the first time in 30yrs....it was even better than I remembered.

Atom, Atom Ant!

Oh, wait. Different Adam Ant.

(I saw Adam and the Ants back in 1980.)

XTC versus Adam Ant
Content versus form
Fighting for their place in rock and roll
There is no right or wrong

Just when you think it’s finished
With XTC on top
Ant music, like a phoenix
Flies back up the charts

XTC versus Adam Ant
Only one will survive
Beatle-based pop versus new romantic
History will decide

XTC versus Adam Ant
I can’t tell you why
Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow
Can’t make up her mind

XTC versus Adam Ant
Time is marching on

XTC versus Adam Ant
There is no right or wrong
There is no right or wrong

There is
No right
Or wrong

AA was one of my favs. Loved the drums and that beat.

I saw Adam back in his heyday and it's one of the best concerts I've seen/heard. I think I was the only one in the crowd who was over 16 years old - - WAY over - - and I out-danced ALL those kids. LOL!

He's still soundin' pretty good, imho. If he played somewhere close by, I'd be right up front again!
Just wish the audio was a bit better in the video.

I remember Adam Ant from back in the days when I used to frequent “video bars”. He was great fun and a true showman. d:^)

I grew up in the UK during the ‘80’s. I’ve no idea how popular he was here but over there, for a time, he was the biggest thing ever. It wasn’t called “Ant Mania” for nothing.

I was in the UK earlier in the year, Birmingham and London, where he had concerts while I was at each. My schedule just didn’t allow the time to go, it was a great disappointment!
