8. EurythmicsSweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Eurythmics were another band that I was introduced to through MTV. I think that’s how I got into synth-pop music. Annie Lennox has an amazing voice but also the instruments that they use, the way it was produced was so cool and different and tough. As a kid I loved ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)’ because it was the big hit, but later in my life when I went back to the record I listened to ‘Love Is A Stranger’ as if I’d never heard it before. It’s just so amazing that I couldn’t believe I didn’t remember it from when I was younger. Among the DFA family it’s a universally loved song. We all try to emulate it, some aspect of it, in some way in different things that we do.
