Perhaps not the greatest song ever written. It started the movement that defined the 1980`s.

Mr. Spock says "pure energy". Yes, that`s really Leonard Nimoy saying that. You can also hear DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy at the very beginning of the track.

Just gave The Damned and The The a listen--nice! That's Jools Holland on piano--my goodness he can play! I have a problem with Prince--perhaps it's a generational thing, as everything I hear of his is top-notch but it just doesn't connect for some reason. Maybe one day...

Anyway--great topic, DGQ. Cool

This is beautiful! I see Propaganda hails from Düsseldorf, which is pretty well where I hail from. Very Happy

This is lovely! I never really took the time to listen to it before. And so is the track by The Waterboys.
