Number 101: M - Pop Musik

Robin Scott formed the experimental New Wave band M in early 1979, with his wife Brigit and a rotating cast of session musicians backing him up. He released three albums in the 80s (and another in 1998) and had five songs from those LPs chart in the UK and USA. M's biggest hit was their second single from debut album New York, London, Paris, Munich, the ahead-of-its-time "Pop Musik". The track's futuristic sound and eye-catching video made it stand out amid the disco and punk music infesting the charts at the time. It hit #2 in Britain and #1 in America, and M was off to a flying start. I have "Pop Musik" at #101 here.
