Number 105: Yaz - Goodbye 70s

Yaz's 1982 debut Upstairs At Eric's was such a fantastic synthpop album that even the non-single tracks on the LP could have been hits. "Goodbye 70s" is an Alison Moyet-written song dealing with her disillusionment and disappointment with an entire decade, and her joy and relief that it is over. Vince Clarke works his usual magic at the keyboard and sequencer, and "Goodbye 70s" is a staple at 80s-themed dance parties to this day. It gets the #105 position on my Top 200.
