Of all the people who jumped on the '80s bandwagon, I'm surprised and disappointed to find out that Cher was one of them.

Genesis had 4 different (very 1981) color schemes for Abacab. Don't worry kids, they ALL include "No Reply at All."

feel like the heart record is the most egregious
in any case these are all better than adding .com to the album title and everything else artists did in the 90s to put themselves on the ~information superhighway~

Re that Paul Simon cover, I haaaaate album covers where the image is distorted/grainy video. Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, any/all of 'em. I don't know why, it's just a visual choice that gives me hives and always has.

lol I have not heard that one. I heard the one before it, in my peak Bruce phase, and it was OK. He's not much of a singer.

re: bruce
i have literally never seen anyone cram a hat into their back pocket like that. why wouldn't you just wear it on your head? guess it fits with him talking about 'the speedball'
i do wonder if that hat had an insignia on the front, tho -- doesn't seem like the proper shade of red for any teams i can think of

i like those forgotten 80s experiments by 70s proggers. tony banks made some of the best goth synth-pop to feature steve hillage.
