Early 80s Peter Gabriel, cabaret Voltaire, throbbing gristle, clash, trio, I could on for days.. some of the best music ever in those days.

Love Joy Division (especially that song!) and New Order.

"Transmission" is my favorite Joy Division song and, gun to my head, "Age of Consent" by New Order is probably my favorite song period.

First day as a freshman at lsu I walked into cotton club, song playing I found out later was Boys by Book of Love... drunk hot blonde girl staggers over to me and we start making out

Her girlfriend kept dragging her away and she came back like 3x before her friend finally left with her.

At that moment I knew I was going to love LSU

I remember Kmart had that album of every single end cap. The only difference was one OXO was colored and the rest black.

Frida - I know There's Something Going on

Somewhere there's a remix to this song that;s actually pretty good. Or maybe it was the X.

Not obscure, but the video for Seperate Ways was filmed in New Orleans.


All the times I have seen that video and I never realized that. LOL

White rabbit by airplane Crashers and Doo Doo Doo song by Suzanne Vega always makes me think of power tools in Houston.

Money for Nothing isn't obscure, but definitely is great for giving context to the lyrics
