Number 173: Platinum Blonde - Not In Love
Known as "the Canadian Duran Duran", Platinum Blonde exploded onto the scene in 1983 with their debut album Standing In The Dark. Mark Holmes and crew released a string of hit singles from this LP, all fueled by heavy rotation of their videos on MuchMusic, Canada's equivalent to MTV. The second song off Standing In The Dark was "Not In Love" which was covered by Crystal Castles in 2010 with Robert Smith of the Cure on lead vocals. I have the original version at #173 on this list.

Awesome tune that was a decade ahead of its time ... compare it to some of the post-punk post-new wave and grunge stuff in the late 80s and early 90s and it's not only first ... it's better
