Number 130: The Box - Must I Always Remember
Though they later became more pop-oriented, The Box definitely had a bit of an edge when they made their debut. The Canadian band came out of the Montreal scene in the early 80s, a hotbed of the new synth-heavy sound taking root north of the US border. Frontman Jean-Marc Pisapia was a former member of Men Without Hats, before having a falling-out with Ivan Doroschuk and creating his own band. "Must I Always Remember" charted in Canada in early 1984. I have it at #130 on my list.
ah, the big 80s... all the girls dressed slutty and most of the guys were were either androgynous euro-trash or swarthy hobos. which meant more slutty girls for us regular guys. god i miss those days
Around the same time his clone became an Irish gypsy, found a set of dirty overalls and fronted Dexy's Midnight Runners
