Biography

Dead or Alive, a New Wave/Dance band from Liverpool, found fame in the 1980s mainly due to their genderbending frontman Pete Burns. Their most succesful single "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" was #1 on the UK charts for three weeks and peaked the US charts at #11. However, Dead or Alive has scored many #1 hits in Japan including "Turn Around and Count 2 Ten" which was #1 for 17 weeks. They are… Read more in Amazon's Dead or Alive Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One listen and the dead will be alive, March 18, 2002

"ggj1" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Youthquake (Audio CD)
If you're a Dead or Alive Fan or if you're just discovering Mr. Burns and his band this is a must have CD for your collection.
I think this is Dead or Alive's finest CD. The songs have held up well with the passing of time, which in my opinion is the mark of a well produced album. No one has been able to duplicate the classic sound of Dead or Alive. The songs on this CD will have you up and moving from the first note - it will spin you round like a record. So DJ Hit That Button & get ready to lose control. Warning!!! this CD is NOT for wallflowers or the weak at heart! Do not pass on this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dancequake!, July 26, 2002
By 
This review is from: Youthquake (Audio CD)
From beginning to end this album is relentless & just doesn't stop...it keeps giving it to ya from one song to the next. Oh the glorious 80's. Oddly enough my favorite song became "In Too Deep", even though I bought the album for the hit "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). Other gems are "DJ Hit That Button", "Big Daddy of the Rhythm", "Cake And Eat It", "Lover Come Back To Me", & "My Heart Goes Bang". This album is like a sinful pleasure and should be in any serious music collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic 80's Album, July 14, 2002

Eric Dapkewicz (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Youthquake (Audio CD)
Dead Or Alive made it big with "You Spin Me Round" back in the mid 80's and is considered a one hit wonder. However, they have made music that was just as good as their big hit. "Youthquake" is full of silly pop/electronic music that is fun and easy to dance to. "Lover Come Back To Me" and "I Wanna Be A Toy" are great tracks. "It's Been A Long Time" is a nice departure from their usual stuff, and gets somewhat deep musically, and lyrically.
