I was sitting in the front row, an industry thing. She came up, cooed a line, and, well, fell out of her top.
I A-Bed that with post New Romantic memories of feeling delightfully miserable while listening to the first three records and experioenced a unique, troubling and sassy frisson.

*actually I liked whole albums when I was prepubescent but haven't listened to any since. except for Savage, which I dug out of a box three years ago when I needed to listen to stuff on tape and was happy to discover that my childhood impression of it being a TOTAL UBERCLASSIC was entirely accurate.!

Has anyone heard the reissues? Much as I dig on these guys I can't say I've been feeling a burning need for remasters, but I am curious about the "Satellite Of Love" and "Last Night I Dreamt..." covers.

Thanks for the link. And, er, yeah. I forced myself to hang in until the chorus, and it did get better, but... ouch. Fun times in the studio, I guess.

― jaime, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
"Aqua" and "This City Never Sleeps" have both completely blown me away, but right now I've been especially into "Take Me To Your Heart" from In The Garden.
Also, some amazing B-sides to "Love Is A Stranger": "Monkey Monkey" and "Let's Just Close Our Eyes"... http://www.discogs.com/release/383009

Listened to a few more covers since the last time. "Come Together" is dire; "Last Night I Dreamt..." points unfortunately toward Annie's solo career.
Nonetheless, still emphatically classic, including a few tracks off PEACE.

“This Is The House” = killer bassline

I'm surprised by all the love for In The Garden; most of the album reviews I've read call it a misfire.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 12:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Only decent album they ever made.
― Dingbod Kesterson, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 12:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Still haven't heard ITG, but Touch and Be Yourself Tonight sound marvelous.

I was quite into them as a pre-teen, and Love is a Stranger was the only song on their greatest hits I didn't like. Now it's easily my favourite. Sweet Dreams and Here Comes the Rain Again are hard to deny as well.
― chap, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I quite liked the singles off Peace, actually, myself.
― Keaney Tong, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 14:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Savage and Be Yourself Tonight hold up as full albums, and all the rest (up 'til 1990) have high highlights.

Once in was in La Coupole in Paris and the waitress said to us: "Look, over there, an eel, an ox." "What?" "An eel, an ox, at the next table." "What, an eel, an ox?" "From Euromix." "Euromix? Some kind of French VH1?" Finally I got it that the dressed down no-makeup blonde lady at the table was Annie Lennox, although I had to stare a little while to make sure it was really her.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 14:33 (fifteen years ago) link
In The Garden still my favorite and I'm going to listen to it right now
weirdest / best early b-side is "Let's Just Close Our Eyes", straight-up 1982 acid house demo version of "I Could Give You (A Mirror)", and someone screwed up royally by leaving that track off the recent reissue of Sweet Dreams -- http://www.discogs.com/release/442615
― Milton Parker, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:33 (fifteen years ago) link
ah typo it's _acid_, not acid _house_. but very very early deployment of that sound

I'm regressing right here but the Love Is A Stranger video still takes me out

I listened today to In The Garden for the first time and I liked it a lot. Sweet Dreams totally classic, by the way.

based solely on this song: hanging out with conny plank was definitely AGL for them

In the Garden is a must have but really, really a major downer. Still like Sweet Dreams the best, popular or no.
― Earth Dye (u s steel), Sunday, 7 March 2010 12:29 (fourteen years ago) link
It's all about the first 3 albums. There are other good songs after that point, but they were never as potent or consistent after Touch.
I love In the Garden but probably agree on Sweet Dreams being the strongest. It's them producing themselves prior to worldwide fame affecting their songwriting or motives.
― Nate Carson, Sunday, 7 March 2010 13:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Still haven't heard ITG, but like them very much through Be Yourself Tonight. Revenge is a horror. Savage has a few high points ("You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart").

Just saw that Stewart is touring the "Eurythmics Songbook" at the moment. Shame Lennox isn't on board for this, as she doesn't seem to be doing much these days.
