I only hear the Gwen Stefani version on the radio, and I think she is a genuine musical talent, I think the original is better imo, shame Mark Hollis is not with us anymore.

This is a classic, love Mark Hollis so much but particularly partial to the jazzy, experimental fragile proto-post-rock soundscapes that came on the Talk Talk or solo albums that followed.

A lot of 80s music one can boil down to a DX-7 synth and a certain drum computer with gated reverb. His sound is timeless.

RIP, Mark Hollis.

No Doubt also felt it was a great song, so much that their cover actually syncs well with the original. The sound is different, but it's essentially the same.

Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL and not some random Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write those to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 80s (1980 - 1989) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 80s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.
