I remember loving those songs as a kid.
That was when Duran Duran took a break & they split into the rock side, the power station & the more stylised pretension of Arcadia.
I'd forgotten all about this. What made them different than Duran Duran? The lack of memorable tunes?
I have no idea who about 75 % of the artists are that you refer to in your posts about pop. Does this say more about me or more about the definition of popular?Pop theory is the worst theory but here I am anyway, still holding onto Greil Marcus and Sylvia Patterson.

Like I've gone back and listened to all sorts of shit from the 80s, from Nick Heyward to Flock Of Seagulls, Human League, ABC, Heaven 17 and it all has something to recommend it.
