}}Metro were an English rock band, featuring Peter Godwin (vocals, saxophone, synthesizer), Duncan Browne (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Sean Lyons (guitar).[3] The band is best known for their song "Criminal World", which was covered by David Bowie on his 1983 album, Let's Dance.[4][1]

History

Godwin and Browne formed Metro in 1976 and were later joined by Lyons.[5] They recorded their self-titled debut album in 1976 and released it in 1977. The lead single off the record, "Criminal World", was banned from the BBC playlist due to its sexual content.[4] During this time, the band briefly changed their name to Public Zone and released a single, "Naive", with the Police's Stewart Copeland on drums. Copeland declined an offer to become a permanent member of the band, to remain with the Police.[6]

Following the release of their debut album, Browne departed the band.[7] Godwin fronted the band with the addition of new members. Metro released New Love and Future Imperfect in 1979 and 1980, respectively. Following the demise of the band, Godwin embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut album, Images of Heaven, in 1982.[6]
