(click the list to view it all)"Orwell's year is here" - Golden Earring "N.E.W.S."
I happened across this one from 25 years ago and thought I'd put it up. A pretty impressive list, I must say. Just a few notes on the less obvious...
- Matt Johnson's debut as The The, releasing great records the entire decade
- would swap Icehouse for Split Enz if I could do it all over...had become an Icehouse fan after 1982's Primitive Man
- Freur later became Underworld
- The Expression was another Australian band that went nowhere...I remember emailing a road trip soundtrack to Erik Dennison of "Sunday Night Vinyl" http://www.wtks.com/pages/sundaynightvinyl.html that included this and he replied that he and I were two of the five people in the US who have it!
Now some notes on the Honorable Mentions...
- Sweet Dreams...
- from New Zealand Mi-Sex final album - first 3 albums were better - influenced OMD
- Headpins - a Chilliwack spinoff from Canada
- About Face
- featuring Paul Weller - My Everchanging Moods
- More Aussie pub rock aka Cold Chisel - produced by Vanda & Young
- another Aussie band - female vocals - "Heaven" was the single
- Instincts w/ Girl in Trouble is a Temporary Thing
