Survivor - Backstreet Love Affair
It was afternoon, it was summer, Foreigner and Survivor in the car and a blue sky to sink into. And my friend drunk on all of this.
(With her we’re at 2 tracks, we started this electro indie duo a month ago)
 
Foreigner - Girl on the Moon
Mid tempos are the most tedious stuff of soft America, but the sound and expressiveness make the difference. You can spot the bands that played a genre for fashion and those that expressed class.
 
Survivor - I'm Not That Man Anymore
When we talk about Foreigner, Journey, and Survivor, it’s not about hard and heavy, AOR, or anything else; it’s simply Music. Lou Gramm, Steve Perry, and the two singers from Survivor are the beloved voices of that American sound. Here is the first singer of Survivor, Dave Bickler.
 
Men At Work - Man with Two Hearts
For me, Australia means three names: Church, Icehouse, and Men at Work.
 
Foreigner - I'm Gonna Win
How to not drift into the plasticky heavy/AOR of the 80s. Lou Gramm, the favorite hard voice of the 80s... forget about Halford, Byford, Sebastian Bach... especially since Whitesnake, Ronnie James, and the like don't really excite me that much, to be honest.
 
Cabaret Voltaire - Animation (Remastered)
When the grooves send you to Jupiter.
 
Throbbing Gristle - What a Day
This beat has opened and closed rave music.
 
Cabaret Voltaire - I Want You (7" Mix)
Give me that smack on the snare!
 
Cabaret Voltaire - The Set Up [Live At The YMCA]
Because in the end we're cool kids even if we listen to this stuff.
 
Deacon Blue - Raintown
Deacon Blue - Born in a Storm
When albums opened with mastery from the very first second.
 
The Comsat Angels - Pray For Rain
One of the most expressive voices.
 
Big Country - Chance
This beautiful track makes me think of Chris Rea; I also find Chris, like Al Stewart, Bruce Hornsby, or Christopher Cross, a bit too easy. And I clearly remember the hate towards Cross that's on Deb AHAH.
 
Survivor - Oceans
A friend thought it was a Queen track from the mid-80s. I'm relistening to them because Jimi Jamison's voice is undoubtedly one of the gifts of Music.
