Number 17: The Box - My Dreams Of You

The Box circa 1985 consisted of frontman Jean-Marc Pisapia (an ex-Men Without Hats member) bass player Jean-Pierre Brie, drummer Claude Thibeault, and guitarist Guy Florent. That was the year the Montreal band released their second LP, All The Time, All The Time, All The Time. The title came from the lyrics of "My Dreams Of You", the lead-off single. The song performed disappointingly on the Canadian charts, peaking at a mere #51. This despite the track being the best tune The Box ever released or would ever release. The synthpop sound was beginning to fall out of favor, replaced by dreck like Bryan Adams and Mr. Mister. "My Dreams Of You", in all it's synth glory, takes the #17 spot on my Top 200, marking The Box's second and final appearance on the list.
