I don't believe the GBs ever indulged in any of these, though Forster did cover a Heart power ballad!

But isn't Grant wearing leather pants on the cover of Liberty Belle? That was #65 on the list.

And isn't Jack Frost basically a supergroup? That's #25.

And they do have a rain sequence (#8) wherein they're standing, or dancing/playing rather, willingly in the rain in the Spring Rain video.

But these just all seem like cool things to do in the context of the Go-Betweens.

Yeah, I thought of the leather pants on LB right after I posted...but also yeah, they somehow make it cool and fresh...

When GoBees indulge in a cliche it's virtually always with a wink and crossed fingers somewhere. And so obviously at odds with the substance of what they do.

I love "The Diva Wave": "Does your hand unconsciously wave around like a wild turkey when you're singing in the shower?" Very funny.
