Also listening to at the time: Curiosity Killed The Cat.

Well, remember, this list is not from the American charts but from American rock crits, who weren't voting for much Stock-Aitken-Waterman (much less for the Italo-disco or freestyle that was making it onto my ballot).

Indeed. I wonder what sort of poptimist I would have turned out as if I had spent my formative years in the States instead? I suspect a far less boshing one :-)

[koganbot]

Yeah. Maybe you'd have had to go goth, or somehow found you way to Miami bass.
