Cheers Alex - yet again I was talking with my @rse firmly in my mouth.

SPIRIT OF EDEN counts as one of my favorite albums of all time....it's
absolutely superb. You'd never know to listen to it that they'd started off
as a mawkish, synth-laden (ala WITH SYMPATHY by Ministry), Durannabe
ensemble in skinny ties, matching outfits and "interesting" hair. Easily the
most dramatic change from beginning of career to end (save, possibly, the
Beatles).

Now that the Furs have been mentioned, I'll be bold enough to suggest a dumb
topic that I thought of earlier.

In the midst of all this EATB talk, my mind drifting backward, today I
happened upon a website in which an author referred to Talk Talk as an 80's
hair band.

My suggestion:

Since a bunch of gatherers seem to be in agreement about the significance of
EATB, what other bands can you think of that have been maligned or otherwise
written off just because they were victims of a fad or a superficial era in
history?

I'll take Talk Talk and offer the albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock
as proof of brilliance dwarfing any commercial success they may have enjoyed
earlier in their career, hair or no.
