Number 158: Yaz - Only You

They were called Yazoo in Europe, Yaz over here in North America. Either way, Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet produced two albums filled with amazing music. "Only You", their first entry on this Top 200 list, was also their first hit song, reaching the top 5 in many countries around the world in 1982. The LP it was taken from, Upstairs At Eric's, is now recognized as one of the greatest synthpop albums of all time, and has sold almost two million copies in the USA alone. I have the Vince-Clarke-penned "Only You" at #158.
