A comment on typical  The UK  party bands

Quotes below show the extremes of music that function bands have to cover

Run-DMC

This debut is perhaps the most influential rap album of all time, rap music's sermon on the mount. Although hip hop had been born in the Bronx, NYC, in the late 1970s, Run-DMC steered the function bands genre away from the block-party stylings of The Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash to produce a stripped-down, hardcore, rock-influenced sound. The production is hard and minimalist, built on a drum machine, snippets of guitar or synthesiser, and the groundbreaking scratching of Jam Master Jay.

  • Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome

    The paranoia, the sexual nastiness (the "Relax" 12-inch single sleeve bore a paragraph mentioning coprophagia), and the sheer, twisted glamour of Welcome ... made it seem, for a brief moment, as if a whole new movement had been spawned.

  • Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (1983)

    By marrying synthesized sounds with strong melodies and powerful vocal delivery, artsy post-punk popsters guitarist Dave Stewart and soulful tenor Annie Lennox effectively ended all the Eighties electro-pop rip-offs. Featuring an androgynous-looking Lennox (resplendent in a severe orange crop and man's suit), amid a field of cows, it was a clear subversion of the sexist, profit-driven culture of the 1980s. The effect was startling, rendering the shy but ballsy singer a cover star (Newsweek, The Face). The Eurythmics' concern for artistic control was reflected in the album sleeve with its D&A (Dave and Annie) logo. A challenge for function bands.

    had become international stars.

  • ZZTop Eliminator (1983)

    Later, Eddie Van Halen consummated the union on Michael Jackson's "Beat It "and his own "lump."In truth, his crisp beats and Dusty Hill's chugging bass are; merely supports for the star: guitarist Billy Gibbons­forever wrapping furry licks round the wry lyrics, but never overindulging like lesser soloists and . I'll need You Tonight" and the slap-happy bass showcase 'Thug." Key to their success were Tim Newman's videos, heavily rotated on the fledgling MTV, which made ZZ an amusing anachronism amid cars and girls and function bands  (note Tom Hunnicutt's iconic cover illustration of a hotrod come to life)."
