Did you sport either a mullet or a Flock-of-Seagulls hair style at the time? If the answer to both is "No" then you can be forgiven...

The answer to both is indeed no. I can't grow my hair out in any way, shape or form. I wind up with a White Man's 'fro if I do.

Oh, you're right. The Go-Gos, not the Bangles....my bad. The Eighties' girl-bands were all the same.

And I know it was "Our Lips are Sealed", but I will continue to call it "Alice the Seal" because it's funny to me.

Is that like "Scuse me while I kiss this guy"?

Oh, and Tainted Love was originally recorded by Gloria Jones, but I still consider Soft Cell's version as definitive, Moth3r.

And that's bad?

Seriously though, I don't think an ignore function will ban a person for all intents and purposes. If the ignore function is user controlled (i.e. some days you ignore someone, and other days you don't), it would only work as an effectual ban for trolls.

[waits for some smart arse to point out that a couple of the artists I've named as original were actually also covers...]

Here comes the smart arse: Nilsson's 1971 Without You was originally a Badfinger tune.
