Number 152: Animotion - I Engineer
William Wadhams, Astrid Plane, Paul Antonelli, and Don Kirkpatrick: Animotion. After the immense success of their 1984 eponymous album, fueled by the US top-10 smash "Obsession", the band returned in 1985 with Strange Behavior, a more low-key effort. Lead off single "I Engineer" introduced a more polished, quirky sound, and Animotion again found chart success as the song peaked inside the the top 20 in multiple countries. I have it at #152 on this list.
Always preferred the creative melody of this song over Obsession's demented stalker and his atonal mongolid droning
ReplyDeleteI have "Obsession" ranked higher! lol
