Let's not forget the 80s: the New Romantics.

The New Romantics were in many ways the English version of LA hair bands, but inspired by a European sentiment, rather than the strip joints of the Sunset Strip. A lot of guys wore a lot of hair and skin products.

But until this song came out, those bands were cringe inducing. This was the first really good song from that batch of bands which included Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and the rest.

It's a perfectly crafted song.. Amazing atmospherics.
