I remember (with a lot of fondness, it has to be said) the utterly silly tabloid hysteria which accompanied their first tour of Britain in 86/87. I was in high school at the time but I think within 24 hours of them hitting the Sun everyone in my class had traded up from Dire Straights to the Beastie Boys. For me, it was my first real introduction into what became my continuing love of Rap, Hip-hop, punk and, latterly, electronic music.
RIP MCA.
