Just Missed My Top 200: Xymox - Imagination


I'm not a huge fan of dark wave music, and I find most (Clan of) Xymox songs all sound the same. But "Imagination", from the band's 1989 album Twist Of Shadows has a pop sensibility that I like. They also allowed Anka Wolbert to sing, which to my mind is a definite step in the right direction.

Xymox's highest-charting song of all time, "Imagination" hit #85 on the US Hot 100 and peaked inside the top 50 in the UK. It also just missed making my Top 200 list.

Be back next week with another song that didn't quite get there.
