Who, my choice would be Talking Heads. Seemed like they had a "messege" that I never got.

I'm shocked.[:0] You can't not appreciate "Psychokiller!" [:D]

Anyway, my pick would have to be the Human League. Two seminal LPs Reproduction and Travelogue. After that, their global breakthrough Dare was just lost on me.

I've got to agree about the Talking Heads. No matter how much I try to give their stuff a chance, I can't really get into it. Love "Wild Wild Life," though.[:)]

The Cure... totally & completely overrated. Caterpillar, Love Cats, Why Can't I Be You, Friday I'm In Love. UCK! Retchworthy.
They're considered this really prolific band but they reared the heads of those turkeys. The Purple Haze cover made me want to

The Pet Shop Boys. Commercial & derivative, which I could put up with if their songs were at least catchy and enjoyable. Only "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" ever did anything for me.

The Eurythmics. Try as hard as I might - I just NEVER "got" them. I'd have to agree on The Pretenders and The Talking Heads as well.

Gotta agree on Eurythmics - just not that exciting. But Pretenders?? Come on! Yeah, they might seem run-of-the-mill now, but set the way-back machine to 1980 and try to recall how refreshing they were. Pretenders I and II were integral in solidfying new m

I also have to disagree with The Pretenders. Their first album is a masterpiece and since then they have always made great songs, even if they aren't as numerous. When I listen to songs like "Kid," "Brass in Pocket," "Talk of the Town," and "Back on the

Theatrical look? White high tops?! Every JAP in my high school wore those white high tops. That is the best laugh I've had in a LONG TIME! His whole current look was stolen from Siouxsie when he toured with them during the Hyaena/Dear Prudence period. Tha
