the list continues!
Absolutely, totally not what I am in to at all, the kind of record I detest. Except, for some inexplicable reason, I love the damn thing. Maybe a "Records I should hate, but actually love..." thread is due?
I was trying to remember who did Informer! I really liked that Zoe song as well! And what about Jane Wiedlin 'Driving In The Rush Hour" and Ce Ce Peniston 'Finally'.
Also 'The Honeythief' by Hipsway, 'Story Of The Blues' by The Mighty Wah!, 'Echo Beach' by Martha & The Muffins, 'Driving Away From Home' by It's Immaterial

Bought a box-set CD of their stuff a couple of years ago and now find that I can't get into their music at all!
Saw them live Friday Night and they were out of this world.
