Thank you! I'm just glad someone around here knows this album well enough to pass along that information. The two seem to have a very similar voice (and I wouldn't have been able to tell).

um anyway.

In my review of "Young Americans" I mentioned something that I'm not sure others would really understand, as I tend to hear, feel, and see music in much the same way a standard digital camera has a ton of different viewing modes (again I'm not sure how to explain this)

So I was thinking to myself "what else shares this atmosphere?"

This came to mind immediately:

Thompson Twins - "You Killed the Clown"



Then these followed:

[large haul enclosed]

Spoiler for Does anyone else see the connection?:
Heart - "There's the Girl"



Billy Idol - "Don't Need a Gun"



Fleetwood Mac - "Welcome to the Room...Sara"



Japan - "The Art of Parties"



The Cars - "You Wear Those Eyes"
