Too lazy to look it up but I actually dug the early 80s techno Neil Young.

I loved Sample and Hold.

Don't Tell Me You Love Me - Night Ranger.

Twin guitar solos from Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson are outstanding.

Lush - Ladykillers


That's an interesting choice. Lush was probably my favorite band in the 1990s. I saw them at Tipitina's in 1994. It was a really good show. I waited to meet them afterwards and Chris Acland was very kind to me.

I had very mixed feelings about that last album, where Ladykillers was "the big single." I liked parts of it, but I also considered it their "sellout" album. This is probably an alien concept to people now, since we're in an era in which up-and-coming artists spell their names with dollar signs replacing the letter S. It was still a big concern in 1996.

My brother bought that album and ended up throwing it out the window of a moving car.

On this day in 1985, Kate Bush released “Running Up That Hill" - the lead single from her fifth studio album “Hounds of Love”

I forgot how much I loved this one

I remembered thinking back then what a weird band name. Was it stupid or genius? Probably both

T’Pau- Heart and Soul

I just can't see it that way. I always thought of it as more of a style change from shoegaze to Brit Pop. Nothing about those songs scream sellout to me, and I have thought that about many bands.

Looking Glass - Brandy


You will rarely hear me say this but this cover is better than the original.

That was one of the first songs that came to my mind seeing this thread.

Seems like there were a bunch of Brit/Aussie bands putting one song on the US charts in that 86/87 time frame never to be heard from again. I remember middle school me listing to

Breathe - Hands to Heaven
and Icehouse - Electric Blue
