Album: The Innocents
Released: 1988
Theme: pop
This album brought them to super stardom in home country England and a breakthrough in America.
'Chains of Love' could be one of the more popular songs by the band. The video is really a different mix of the song that I hope you enjoy.

Erasure has ties into early Depeche Mode and Yaz; all 3 are really great bands that have special sounds.
This tune makes me feel good.
Album: The Circus
Released: 1987
Theme: pop
This song as well as others I'll post by Erasure will come from a compilation album called Pop. This album along with New Order Substance would be 2 CDs that are must haves.
Shame on me for not posting Erasure before now but better late than never. Maybe I'll make up for it with a string of E-posts.
Anyway, I think this song has a touch of romance and could see myself dancing on a building rooftop in the rain with my girl - not like the dudes in the video.
Album: Violent Femmes
Released: 1983
Theme: alternative punk
Cool video - something different for SoDA and something different for a song everyone's heard many times.
This could be the same street corner on which the band was discovered.
Album: Greetings from Timbuk 3
Released: 1986
Theme: 80's fun
Still with the 'fun' theme - we'll see how long it will last. If you have any ideas, float them my way.
In case you haven't realized, you can click on the Album title to get a link to info on the band. Do that here and you'll learn that Timbuk3 was formed in 1984 by a husband and wife team out of Madison, Wisconsin.
The song comes across in a lighthearted manner like everything's gonna be cool. I don't know if that's how the author had intended but that doesn't matter.
