It’s getting louder...




Few interesting info about Friends except the fact that it is an English group formed in 1986 originally by William Jones.


Group that will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the high-caliber single "Day by night" which will be released in 1992.


For this reason alone, we had to devote this article to them.


To discover or rediscover.

Clips :


1986...a first title that was successful to say the least and which immediately positioned the group as one of the great revelations of this mid-decade...



1987...a sequel which confirms the fact that this group has more than certain potential. It remains to be seen what he will do with this potential...



1988... the rise in power is linear and allows the group to assert himself as one of the sure values of the moment. Just a good job...



1988...good work but no major take-off for the moment. They will have to find the little extra that could finally set them apart from the crowd...



1989... for the big take-off we will have to wait a little longer, it is clear. The 1980s still allowed them to show that there is talent in this group...



1989 ... a successful first part of his career in any case. It is obvious that all their efforts will end up paying off at one time or another...



1990...the only thing we can blame them for now is their lack of renewal and evolution in terms of style. An immobility that could end up penalizing them de facto...



1990...yet it wouldn't take much for them to climb the last step that separates them from the podium. We'll have to be a little patient...



1991...a nice group with an equally nice style but who still can't find his place in the Elite. Hard law of the trade...



1991...let's hope that the sequel finally gives them reason to continue the adventure and believe in it until the end. It's bound to pay off...



1992...and they were right to wait ! They will finally win with this title the semblance of high level recognition that they have been waiting for since their debut. HU-GE !



1993...they will only win the timpani once but it's at least done. The main thing being done, everything else will only be a bonus...



1993... the group could have slowed down but it absolutely does not intend to do so at first sight. An adventure that is far, far from over...



1994... too bad the group still doesn't want to evolve more than that. He remains braced on his fundamentals without asking too many questions unfortunately...



1995... a refusal to evolve which will inevitably end up penalizing them in the long term. Because the world evolves around them and they do not see it at first sight...



1995... whatever it is, we will largely be satisfied with what they continue to produce. Hoping that some semblance of evolution will eventually happen...



2002...we will lose sight of them for almost 7 years and here they are back in this new decade 2000 in a form that we will qualify as certain. Certain but not sufficient to reverse the trend...



2002...we could have hoped that the 7 years would have allowed them to refine their style in order to stick a little more to the latest musical trends of the moment. Hope disappointed in the end...



2004... them in any case continue to believe in it as if nothing had happened. Rightly or wrongly, only the future will be able to answer this question...



2004...as long as they manage to last, there is still a minimum of people to follow them. No reason therefore for the moment to stop there...



2006...especially since a good number of other groups that started at the same time as them have already disappeared a long time ago. Them are still there anyway...



2006...always there and always in this style which they will have kept from the beginning to the end. We won't remake them again as they say...



2007...not only are they still there but they continue to produce titles in a consistent way, to say the least. A sign of relative good health all the same...



2007...we don't know how long they will still be able to hold on like that, but in any case they are holding on. Which underlines all the more the prowess of still being there...



2007...it's the basic fans who are fully delighted to see them come back again and again. Because the adventure has been going on for 20 years already, it must be emphasized...



2011...and here they are again ! They make it a point of honor to come back during each decade and it's going to last like this for a little while longer...



2011... now it remains to be seen when they will return next time because we now know that with them nothing is ever over...
