There are only two reasons to like him. Either it was the music (which I still like ) or the hair. Of course, this pretty much applies to all eighties music now that I think about it...

have to agree with Howard Jones being awesome. always liked this one best

Howard Jones did have some pretty darn catchy tunes goin' on... my eight year old brain was probably pretty easily sucked in to that...

Default The Fixx - One thing leads to another.

The Fixx - One thing leads to another, is one of my favorite from this specific era & genre. Howard Jones was always a fav, and Duran Duran too.

I was more into Thomas Dolby (more innovative), but Howard Jones' first two albums did have some moments, and even if the "Life In One Day" video was a bit much of trying to get the message across it still at least stood out. Once he turned into Easy Listening, however, it was done and over with.
