"They should have been stars, but the US was not comfortable with any pop star(s) that wasn't blatantly hetero." This is not NPOV (saying "they should have been stars"), nor is the implication that they weren't "blatantly hetero". (This is debatable, as is the connexion between the two.) --Daniel C. Boyer
Not NPOV, true nonetheless.
Agree - article is notally non NPOV. I think it's best if fans don't write up their favourite bands - they get too carried away! Still it's better than nothing. Rewrite or edit called for here at some point I think. GRAHAMUK 07:10, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Rewrite is the key word here: wholesale deletion of the text containing the statements Daniel C. Boyer pointed out was uncalled for. I re-inserted part of that deleted text, leaving out the questionable and overhyped stuff. Lupo 10:53, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Not right to discuss Messages as a single without mentioning Electricity, their first single and from the audience reaction at the Hammersmith Apollo last night one of their 3 favourite songs - along with Enola Gay and Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans)

[edit] Singles
Why? what is the need to create articles for "Sailing on the Seven Seas", "Pandora's Box (It's a Long, Long Way)", "Then You Turn Away", "Call My Name", "Walking on the Milky Way". i can understand soem of these perhaps. A few months ago I created (or co-created) articles for singles like electricity, enola gay and if you leave. I deemed that these were important singles, which had interesting stories. They also were useful in reference to other articles, If you leave in reference to bratpack movies and the pretty in pink soundtrack.
What is the need for these singles which were not even hits, and thus far have no useful information written within them? Chadwholovedme 12:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't say "Sailing on the Seven Seas" and "Pandora's Box" "were not even hits" - both made the top ten in the UK. -88.109.63.214 (talk) 14:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
