Background notes
Archive material and source history
Foolish Things formed in Birmingham in 1974 with Paul Roberts on vocals and guitar, Steve Jones on lead guitar, Mike Roberts on bass, and Dave Williams on drums. They played a mix of hard rock and glam rock, with Roberts' voice standing out over energetic guitar work.
Their 1976 album 'Who Can Compare' gave them their biggest hit with the title track, which reached the top ten in several countries. That same song also drew criticism for lyrics some found offensive, creating tension around the band's reputation.
By the early 1980s, internal conflicts and money problems had taken hold. They released 'Last of the Independents' in 1980 before fading from view.
