EURYTHMICS / ANNIE LENNOX

Eurythmics were, in my opinion, the greatest eighties pop double-act! When I first heard that brilliant electro-pop sound of "Love Is A Stranger" on Radio 1, I couldn't wait to rush down to Woolies and buy the 12 inch single!

Initially, "Love Is A Stranger" failed to hit the top 40, but after the their first commercial success in the UK with "Sweet Dreams", it was re-released and shot into the top 10.

I loved the synth-based sound of their earlier singles - "Sexcrime - 1984" was another favourite of mine - but a more rock-based sound was to follow, leading to many more years of big chart hits, such as "Thorn In My Side" and "Would I Lie To You".
