As shameful as it is to admit this, I enjoy Bruce Springsteen and the Cure.

Bruce is the only embarrassing part of that statement. Although I do still have a weakness for Born to Run.

this - for those of you who grew up listening to Richard Blade on KROQ, this was a regular part of his playlist for a period of time. BTW Richard created the careers of bands like Depeche Mode in the US.

for a period of about a year I thought this band and E were going to take over the world. guilty pleasure.



this was my favorite band in the 80s. Still love them without shame.



I had this song on my spinning class playlist back in the day, people loved it. Medium paced climb with moderate/heavy resistance.

The first music video every played on MTV. No one can ever take that away.

You could say it kinda started the version of "the 80's" we're kinda sorta posting about. Or something.

it's called free association. haven't you caught up with post-modernism and deconstructionism? The author's intent no longer matters. the author is dead. (author of threads in this case)

As a stoner Yes fan in the 70s, it took a little convincing for me when this first came out, but I came around.

that's too bad. You're over it now I hope.

digital synths in the 80s now clearly sound like shit.

They sounded like shit then too.

Sounding like shit was an 80s guilty pleasure.

Not acceptable. Petition denied.

You've openly admitted to running a spin class. Your credit here is now zero. Thanks for playing.
