Ive had this little snippet of a song in my head for a while, pretty sure it was out around the time of The Chords and is a kind of Mod/Power Pop thing - the bit in my head is a kind of breakdown in the song with mostly just drums and the band singing " prisoner number one... whoa -oh ... prisoner number one " repeatedly.

For some reason I think their name had something to do with " Dominator " , but it might have been they were a moddish band playing WEM Dominator amps, I had one and it sticks in my memory ..... as you can see Im over-thinking this <laugh>

No one else seems to remember it, its bugging me ... any ideas .... anyone.... <wah>


Was The Vapours.
Song called 'Prisoner'.
Apparently their first single.

I meant to say that might be an issue, that's usually cited as a reason for people not liking them as Geddy Lee is not to everyone's taste but you get used to it over time.

Best description I ever heard about his singing technique was that it was a cross between Robert Plant and Donald Duck. <whistle>
 
Home alone and flicked through channels and came across this band doing live show,one of my fave bands of all time
