Three Wishes- Television Personalities

Today I am highlighting Television Personalities. I am not going to pretend that I know all there is to know about this band. They have been around since 1978. I was not buying my own records at that time and my parents were listening to Wings. I do know they are awesome!
Television Personalities hail from England and are described as Post Punk/New Wave. Dan Treacy, the singer, guitarist and songwriter has been the one constant member through the years. There are so many songs to choose from it is hard to decide. I would say the most popular is "Part Time Punks", but this band is nothing close to mainstream. I am going to post "Three Wishes", this is from the album They Could Have Been Bigger Than The Beatles (1982).


I know, I am cheating but here is another song from their 1995 album Yes Darling, But It's Art. The song is "Me & My Desire".


If you enjoyed these songs I suggest getting the greatest hits album, http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6669730/a/part+time+punks%3A+the+very+best+of+television+personalities.htm or try Amazon.com. Then go from there.

Other song suggestions include "Silly Girl, The Dream Inspires, Sad Mona Lisa, Strangely Beautiful & My Very First Nervous Breakdown".
