Number 91: Wang Chung - Don't Be My Enemy
Jack Hues and Nick Feldman formed Wang Chung in late 1980, but it was their second album, 1983's Points On The Curve, that became their big breakthrough. Single release "Don't Be My Enemy" charted in both the UK and USA, and the band's career was off to a flying start. Still my favorite Wang Chung song, "Don't Be My Enemy" gets the #91 spot in the band's only appearance on my Top 200.
Dave Matthews Band was the Grateful Dead of the 90s - they kept making the same record over & over... even though even the first one was very uninteresting.
And when that whole "Paul is Dead" thing was happening ... they were right... if they were talking about his brain.
Infinitely superior to the tedious-as Dave Matthews 'Dance Hall Days' or imbecilic-as-McCartney 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight' !
ReplyDeleteLove your examples, don't enjoy Dave or Paul.

Only one Wang Chung song here?! In addition to this song and their two big hits, I also like "Don't Let Go", "Let's Go", and "Hypnotize me".
ReplyDelete"Let's Go" is alright.
