Number 126: Erasure - Star

Erasure has so many great songs, it's an embarassment of riches. One of my favorites has always been "Star", the fourth and final single from their 1989 Wild! LP. As always, the vocal stylings of Andy Bell and the synth/sequencing wizardry of Vince Clarke come together to produce their usual magic. "Star" hit #11 on the UK chart to wrap up the decade for Erasure. I have the song at #126 here.

    Thank you for not choosing something from 'Torsten the Bareback Saint’

      I did not know that existed...and I sort of wish it didn't.

    Think of it as Andy Bell's entry in the Jeopardy category "Hubristic Musician Creations" .... the Daily Double is of course Rick Wakeman's "King Arthur on Ice"
