I like Addicted to Love a lot better. Makes me feel human.

If there's anyone who denies that it happened, they didn't live through it.

I stood tapping my foot for most of the nineties and hugging my New Order albums waiting for the backlash to end.
The first eighties comps came out in 1992-1993, by the way.

Whenever I think of this song I picture Donald Trump listening to it in 1988 wondering what some of the words mean.

we sang this in high school choir and my friend (a sophomore) hadn't heard it before. the choir teacher played the Palmer recording and he said "THIS SOUNDS LIKE DEATH METAL".
also the song is classic for its cheez

See, another massive #2 hit, an example of how adroitly Palmer could adapt electronic R&B to his own ends.
